And the sky was bright with a ho­ly light
And the sky was bright with a ho­ly light
Nor rest­ed till the wan­der­ing star
And there it did both stop and stay,
Drive your anx­ious cares away;
Until it came and stood be­side
And bow with plea­sure down to see

The place where Je­sus lay.

Alleluia! O how the an­gels sang.
Alleluia! O how the an­gels sang.
They came, they saw, and they ad­ored;
Then did they know as­sur­ed­ly
Christians, dry your flow­ing tears
Although by stars Thou dost not lead
Thus low the Lord of life was brought;
