|
<p>Lo! the star in the East! over Bethlehem’s plain,<br>
|
|
It shines as a guide to the place<br>
|
|
Where the weary, worn trav’ler his hopes may attain,<br>
|
|
And worship that Infant of Days.<br>
|
|
While forth from their treasures, frankincense and gold,<br>
|
|
And the costliest spices they bring.<br>
|
|
For in their distant land it had long been foretold,<br>
|
|
The birth of that glorious King.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Let the glad world rejoice! Let the angelic bands<br>
|
|
Their anthems triumphantly sing!<br>
|
|
To God be the glory! Sound forth, all ye lands,<br>
|
|
The coming of Jesus our King.</p>
|
|
<p>Lo! the star in the East! we may gaze on it now;<br>
|
|
Be pilgrims, with it for our guide;<br>
|
|
The lesson of Bethlehem, still ever new,<br>
|
|
The manger, and cross where He died.<br>
|
|
We may read, we may learn, from His birth to His grave,<br>
|
|
The teachings of peace and of love;<br>
|
|
For this is the King Who is mighty to save;<br>
|
|
His grace and His love we may prove.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Lo! the star in the East! let us follow it still,<br>
|
|
No pilgrim it e’er led astray;<br>
|
|
Let us bow at His feet, let us study His will,<br>
|
|
And ever His precepts obey.<br>
|
|
What treasures have we to present to our King,<br>
|
|
As an offering fitting and true?<br>
|
|
Our hearts and ourselves, blessèd Jesus, we bring,<br>
|
|
Accept us, and form us anew.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Lo! the star in the East! yet with far wider rays,<br>
|
|
Shall its glorious shining go forth;<br>
|
|
And earnestly plead, God would hasten the day,<br>
|
|
When His knowledge shall fill all the earth.<br>
|
|
We would lift up our prayers, we would strengthen our hands,<br>
|
|
Would send out our means all abroad,<br>
|
|
Till the glorious Gospel is heard in all lands,<br>
|
|
And the world is converted to God.</p>
