THE STAR OF TRUTH

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON

The Christ-Child saw a star and said, It is a light An angel holds within his hand. It is so bright I can not see his shining face, But he is there, And he shall be my guide, henceforth And everywhere.

The years passed on, the Child, a Man, Still saw the star— The word of truth in all its power— Shining afar. He said, I would the wandering sheep Might it behold And from the wilderness come forth To find the fold.

And there beneath that star He knelt Wrestling with wrong, And angels came and ministered A holy throng. He touched their wings and clasped their hands And from God's throne Obtained a strength and living power To be His own.

And when at length above the cross The sun grew dim, The Christ-Child still beheld that star Shining for Him. And still for us the star shines on— The truth divine— And in our hearts as in His heart That truth may shine.
