Star of Fulfillment

Over a city shin­eth at night

Marvelous white­ness

won­drous­ly bright!

Never such star­light glit­tered before—

See how it hov­ers ov­er yon door!

Star of ful­fill­ment! Beau­ti­ful star!

Lighting the man­ger

seen from afar;

Beacon from Heav­en

sign of the King

Light out of dark­ness

earth­ward you bring.

Not o’er a pal­ace shin­eth this light;

Not o’er a tem­ple

fair to the sight.

No

this bright bea­con shin­eth so fair

Over a sta­ble—low in the air.

Over a sta­ble? how can it be!

Go with the shep­herds; hast­en and see!

Enter the sta­ble

bend and ad­ore

Jesus the In­fant—King ev­er­more!
