That east­ern sag­es found.
When the ran­somed and blest,
O’er the des­ert drear,
start
It was Thy day, sweet! and did rise
By its clear and ra­di­ant shin­ing,

From the east

A heav’n­ly light on earth,
Shall stand by the crys­tal­line sea.
Watch it shin­ing clear;
To seek the in­fant King;
We saw Thee in Thy bal­my nest,
Where is He, the Heav’n born Rul­er?
