Judah’s Star Is Risen

O dawn of peace and glad­ness

That breaks from sea to sea!

Behold it shine with joy di­vine

On an­cient Ga­li­lee;

For Ju­dah’s star is ris­en!

Her night is passed away!

The Lord

the King Im­ma­nu­el

Is born this ho­ly day!

O dawn of peace and glad­ness

That thrills the heart of earth!

When bells of joy their tones em­ploy

To tell a Sav­ior’s birth

When hill and plain and val­ley

Repeat the an­gels’ cry

And sing in migh­ty chor­us

All praise to God most high!

O dawn of peace and glad­ness

We read the ho­ly sign;

The tid­ings sweet our tongues re­peat

In songs of praise di­vine;

For Ju­dah’s star is ris­en!

Let Zi­on’s host pro­claim;

All hail the Son of Da­vid

O mag­ni­fy His name!
