Misc Christmas – Brightest And Best (Guitar)

C             G           F           C    
Brightest and Best of the sons of the morning,

F            Am          Dm7           G7
Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid;

C           G           F      G7
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,

C     C/B       Am       G         C
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

C           G          F            C    
Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining;

F            Am            Dm7           G7
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;

C       G           F         G7
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,

C     C/B Am          G         C
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all!

C             G             F        C    
Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,

F        Am       Dm7         G7
Odors of Edom and offerings divine?

C           G            F             G7
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,

C     C/B      Am         G             C
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?

C         G          F       C    
Vainly we offer each ample oblation,

F           Am              Dm7     G7
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;

C         G          F          G7
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,

C     C/B Am          G              C
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

C             G           F           C    
Brightest and Best of the sons of the morning,

F            Am          Dm7           G7
Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid;

C           G           F      G7
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,

C     C/B       Am       G         C
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
