Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Brightest and Best Lyrics?
The Ritchie version with music is in Folk Songs of the Southern Appalachians, as sung by Jean Ritchie (Oak, p. 61). The "Hail the best morn" stanza is originally from another hymn, but it matches well here. The source hymn ("Star in the East") is in Southern Harmony (CLICK HERE).
