For SATB Chorus unaccompanied
Arranged by William Averitt
This arrangement combines the melody Brightest and best of the sons of the morning from William Walker's collection The Southern Harmony and words written in 1811 by Reginald Heber (1783-1826). Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. c. 2:00 USE: services, concerts, church choirs, college, community, professional choruses Tune: Star in the East by William Walker: Southern Harmony (1835)
