1 What star is this, with beams so bright, A stranger midst the orbs of light? it shines to herald forth the King, Glad tidings of our God to bring.
2 See now fulfilled what God decreed, "From Jacob shall a Star proceed:" And lo! the eastern sages stand, To read in heaven the Lord’s command.
3 Oh, while the Star of heavenly grace Invites us, Lord, to seek Thy face, May we no more that grace repel, Or quench that light which shines so well.Source: Wartburg Hymnal: for church, school and home #151
