Shines a won­drous star;
A mi­ra­cle! a mi­ra­cle!
Star of the East, O beau­ti­ful star,
Led by the star,
Gifts more pre­cious we may bring
Lo! we see the star arise,
Rose that bright and morn­ing star;
Good will from the Fa­ther of peace.
Made the whole world bright.

The wise men

This the ho­ly pro­mised One, babe, yet Lord di­vine!
Watched it from afar;
A lit­tle child hath solved the locks
Thy won­drous light had been fore­told
Seeking the Child,
For He counts the child­ren’s love
In the still night un­to Christ.
Bringing trea­sures from afar;
O’er far dist­ant lands long ago,
From their homes afar,
To seek the in­fant King;
