In form of servant is the Lord, and God in cradle lies. 3 This wonder all the world amazed, it shook the starry frame; the hosts of heaven stood to gaze, and bless the Saviour's name. 4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight; a choir of angels sings, and eastern sages with delight adore this King of kings. 5 Join then, all hearts that are not stone, to sing with choirs above and celebrate this Holy One, the God of peace and love.

When, marshaled on the nightly plain

Author: Kirke White Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 483 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:9 Lyrics: 1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain, The glittering hosts bestud the sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks, From every host, from every gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks,-- It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud, the night was dark-- The ocean yawned--and rudely blowed The wind, that tossed my foundering bark. 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;-- When suddenly a star arose,-- It was the Star of Bethlehem. 5 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bad my dark forebodings cease; And, through the storm, and danger's thrall, It led me to the port of peace. 6 Now safely moored, my perils o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem, Forever and for evermore, The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!
