Lyrics

When Jesus, our Lord, was born in Bethlehem, in the land of Judea; behold, from the east to the city of Jerusalem there came wise men and said:

Say, where is he born, the king of Judea? For we have seen his star, and are come to adore him.

There shall a star from Jacob come forth and a Sceptre from Israel rise up and dash in pieces princes and nations.

How brightly beams the morning star!
With sudden radiance from afar
With light and comfort glowing!
Thy Word, Jesus, inly feeds us,
Rightly leads us,
Life bestowing.
Praise, oh praise such love o’erflowing.
