Brightest and Best

"Brightest and Best" is a Christmas poem by Reginald Heber that opens with a radiant call to the Star of the East to guide the faithful toward the newborn Christ. The infant lies in a cold cradle, surrounded by animals, as angels silently adore him. The poem then poses a searching question: what gift could truly honour such a Redeemer? Gold, gems, and rare perfumes are weighed against something far simpler — the humble prayers of the poor, which Heber declares dearer to God than any earthly treasure.
