For we saw His star at its rising
Moses saw the vision on a mountain, do tell,
By the river Chebar the heavens were opened,
And God saw it was good,
They would have hailed Him king, and with ac­claim,
And mi­nis­tered un­to Thee?
And mi­nis­tered un­to Thee?
Young dawn of our eter­nal day!

In dark Geth­se­ma­ne.
The people all (the people all)
He found a faith to guide him,
Through the riv­en clouds,
O, mer­ry, mer­ry, mer­ry,
God called, and God made.
Victory ahead, vic­to­ry ahead,
They mourned, and sought the Lord again;
Standing on the local ground;
Lo! the sun’s bright rays are peep­ing
To the Re­deem­er’s feet.
