See! The Morning Star

See! the morn­ing star is dwell­ing

On the east­ern mount­ain’s height

See! The day all days ex­cell­ing

Bursts up­on our ach­ing sight;

Sing we then

the car­ol free

Christus na­tus ho­die.

Long our watch has been

and drea­ry

Long we wan­dered from afar

So the wise men

worn and wea­ry

Followed still the lead­ing star

Till the Day Spring’s self they see

Christus na­tus ho­die.

Hence

away! all care and sad­ness!

Hence

and ne’er re­turn again!

Angels sing with notes of glad­ness

Peace on earth

good will to men.

Join we them in car­ol free

Christus na­tus ho­die.
