376. A Star is Moving Through The Sky

1 A star is moving thro' the sky,
Alleluia!
Before the wise men wondrously.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 They know by this that heav'n's great King,
Alleluia!
Good news to them on earth doth bring.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

3 Thus come they unto Bethlehem;
Alleluia!
Thy lamp, O Lord, is lighting them.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

4 Gold, incense, myrrh, to Him they bear,
Alleluia!
And psalms and hymns and songs prepare.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

5 Thus should we also, all our days,
Alleluia!
To Jesus offer holy praise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

6 Praise to the Father and the Son,
Alleluia!
And Holy Ghost upon one throne.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

7 Praise to the Holy Trinity,
Alleluia!
From now to all eternity.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
