Lo! A Star, Ye Sages Hoary

Lo! a star

ye sag­es hoa­ry;

Lo! a won­drous star ab­ove;

He is born

the King of glo­ry

He

our won­drous star of love.

Lord of life

Re­deem­er

Mas­ter

Loud the shep­herds’ wel­come rolls

He is born the people’s pas­tor

He the shep­herd of our souls.

When from Thee we fain would bor­row

Peace for heart and soul op­pressed

Child of sor­rows

heal our sor­rows;

Spirit

give our spir­its rest.

Let all evil past behav­ior

In Thy love for­got­ten be

Let our spir­its

gen­tle Sav­ior

Be this day new­born with Thee.
