Star of the East (song)

"Star of the East", originally named "Stern über Bethlehem" is a popular Christmas carol written in the 1800s.

The music was arranged by composer Amanda Kennedy in 1883, for a song called "Star of the Sea".

Sorrow and grief and lull'd by thy light, Thou hope of each mortal, in death's lonely night!

Star of the East, un-dim'd by each cloud, What tho' the storms of grief gather loud?

Guide us still onward to that blessed shore, After earth's toil is o'er!
