Charles Austin Miles Star Of The Midnight Lyrics
Star Of The Midnight by Charles Austin Miles
[Verse 1]
Star of the midnight gleaming, O-ver the shad-ow'd plain,
Wake-on the world to mu-sic, Join-ing the sweet re-frain,
Sung by the an-gel cho-rus, througing the ra-dient sky,
Ech-o-ing through the a-ges, "Glory to God on High!".
[Chorus]
Star of the mid-night bring us, where lies the Prince of Peace
Where from our ev-'ry tor-ment, find we a sweet re-lease,
Then thro' the realms of glo-ry, shall come an answering cry,
Ech-o-ing thro' the ages, "Glo-ry to God on high!".
[Verse 2]
Star of the midnight shin-ing, O-ver a man-ger bed,
Where by Thy ray so won-drous, Kings of the earth are led,
Lead us to seek the Sav-iour, Through shadows dark and dim,
Bring us to man-ger low-ly, that we may wor-ship Him.
[Chorus]
Star of the mid-night bring us, where lies the Prince of Peace
Where from our ev-'ry tor-ment, find we a sweet re-lease,
Then thro' the realms of glo-ry, shall come an answering cry,
Ech-o-ing thro' the ages, "Glo-ry to God on high!".
[Verse 3]
Star of the midnight fail not, till all the world shall cease,
Striv-ing in vain for con-quest, Seek-ing in vain for peace,
Bring ev-'ry nation hum-bly, E'en to that man-ger stall,
That they may tru-ly wor-ship, Je-sus the lord of all.
[Chorus]
Star of the mid-night bring us, where lies the Prince of Peace
Where from our ev-'ry tor-ment, find we a sweet re-lease,
Then thro' the realms of glo-ry, shall come an answering cry,
Ech-o-ing thro' the ages, "Glo-ry to God on high!".
Star of the midnight gleaming, O-ver the shad-ow'd plain,
Wake-on the world to mu-sic, Join-ing the sweet re-frain,
Sung by the an-gel cho-rus, througing the ra-dient sky,
Ech-o-ing through the a-ges, "Glory to God on High!".
[Chorus]
Star of the mid-night bring us, where lies the Prince of Peace
Where from our ev-'ry tor-ment, find we a sweet re-lease,
Then thro' the realms of glo-ry, shall come an answering cry,
Ech-o-ing thro' the ages, "Glo-ry to God on high!".
