That star of hope by Wisemen seen,
Foretold the glory bright,
Which crowned the first glad Easter morn
With radiance and might,
When Christ rolled back the clouds of sense
With Truth's effulgent ray,
And brought the light and liberty
Of Love's eternal day.
You who accept the mortal law
Of death, disease, and sin,
Who fight a losing fight with fear,
And do not hope to win,
Arise! for to the waking thought
The Christ again is near,
Speaking the word of Life and Love
Unto the listening ear.
Oh, hear this word aright and learn
That it can make you free
From slavery to sin and self,
And know Truth's harmony.
