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.
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 feat of the King unfold.
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.
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 feat of the King unfold.
