Chord Brightest And Best by Misc Christmas

brightest and best - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - composed by john frederick bridge . to the more traditional tune of spean . intro and between each verse : C C/B Am G F G C C G Em F C G brightest and best of the sons of the morning , F Am Dm7 G7 dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; G7 C F G7 star of the east , the horizon adorning , C C/B Am G F G C guide where our infant redeemer is laid . cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining; low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; angels adore him in slumber reclining , maker and monarch and savior of all! say , shall we yield him , in costly devotion , odors of edom and offerings divine? gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean , myrrh from the forest , or gold from the mine? vainly we offer each ample oblation , vainly with gifts would his favor secure; richer by far is the hearts adoration , dearer to god are the prayers of the poor .
