"First appears in Joshua Leavitt's ''The Christian Lyre'' in 1831 presumably arranged by Deodatus Dutton, for two parts (Tenor or Soprano and Bass). Arranged by William Walker in ''Southern Harmony'', 1835, p. 16, for three voices, notes in four-shape format. The tune is a folk hymn from the late eighteenth century (Jackson 1953a, No. 182). Revised by William Hauser in four parts in 1848, and William Walker for four parts in seven-shape format in 1867. Words of the first stanza are by an anonymous author; second through fourth stanzas and chorus by Reginald Heber, 1811."

'''Star in the East''' Hail, the blest morn when the great mediator, Down from the regions of glory descends Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger, Low for his guards the bright angels attend. CHORUS Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star in the East the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Cold on his cradle the dew drops are shining, Low lies his bed with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore him in slumbers reclining, Wise men and Shepherds before him do fall Say shall we yield him, with costly devotion, Odors of Eden and offerings divine, Gems of the mountains and pearls from the ocean: Myrrh from the forest and gold from the mines. Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold we his favor secure; Richer by far is the soul adoration Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. :''The Christian Herald'' 5(8):195. March 27, 1823. “… from an esteemed correspondent.”
