The Golden Carol Lyrics

1. We saw a light shine out a-far,
On Christmas in the morning;
And straight we knew it was Christ's star,
Bright beaming in the morning.
Then did we fall on bended knee,
On Christmas in the morning;
And prais'd the Lord, who let us see
His glory at its dawning.

2. Oh! Every thought be of His Name,
On Christmas in the morning;
Who bore for us both grief and shame,
Afflictions sharpest scorning.
And we may die (when death shall come,)
On Christmas in the morning;
And see in Heav'n, our glorious home,
That Star of Christmas morning.
