I just found a (symbolic-)maritime-themed "Star of Bethlehem" song set to "Bonnie Doon" (aka CANDLER) in the 3rd ed. of An American Christmas Harp (p. 114): - When marshall'd on the nightly plains,
The glitt'ring hosts bestud the sky, One star alone of all the train, Can fix the sinner's wand'ring eye. ||:Hark hark to God the chorus breaks, From ev'ry host, From ev'ry gem; But one alone the Savior speaks, It is the Star of Bethlehem.:|| - Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud, the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd and rudely blow'd, The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark. ||:Deep horror then my vitals froze; Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose, It was the Star of Bethlehem.:|| - It was my guide, my light, my all,
It bade my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger's thrall, It led me to the port of peace. ||:Now safely moored, my perils o'er, I'll sing first in night's diadem; Forever and forevermore, The Star, the Star of Bethlehem.:||
