Star of the East (Mack)

Star of the east now shin­ing

In the az­ure sky

Star bright­ly gleam as by

The pro­phets long fore­told;

Come

shep­herds

come and hast­en

O’er the east­ern plain

Your in­cense rare and jew­els fair

At the feet of the King un­fold.

Yes

we glad­ly come and fol­low

Where the star is lead­ing

Long

so long

we’ve watched and wait­ed

For its won­drous gleam­ing

Hail the Prince of Peace

The Sav­ior pro­mised to the sag­es

Hail Im­ma­nu­el Mes­si­ah

Born in Beth­le­hem.

Still the star beams on and beck­ons

To the won­drous Sav­ior;

Still it leads the way to where

The Prince of Peace is sleep­ing;

Shine

O won­drous star

through­out

The glo­ri­ous com­ing ag­es

Till we all with Him shall reign

In peace for­ev­er­more.
