Splendid Are The Heavens High

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #87 (1927) Meter: 7.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Splendid are the heavens high, Beautiful the radiant sky, Where the golden stars are shining And their rays to earth inclining, Beck'ning us to heav'n above, Beck'ning us to heav'n above. 2 It was on the holy night, Darkness veil'd the stars so bright; But at once the heavens hoary Were bedeck'd with light and glory, Coming from a wondrous star, Coming from a wondrous star. 3 When this star so fair and clear Should illume the midnight drear, Then according to tradition, Should a king with heav'nly mission Unto earth from heav'n descend, Unto earth from heav'n descend. 4 Sages from the East afar, When they saw this wondrous star, Went to find this King of nations And to offer their oblations Unto Him as Lord and King, Unto Him as Lord and King. 5 Him they found in Bethlehem, Yet He wore no diadem; They but saw a maiden lowly With an infant pure and holy, Resting in her loving arms, Resting in her loving arms. 6 Guided by the star, they found Him whose praise the ages sound. We, too, have a star to guide us, Which forever will provide us, With the light to find our Lord. 7 And this star as bright as day, Which will never lead astray With its message so appealing, Is the Word of God, revealing Christ to us as Lord and King.

Aaberg Hymnal: Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark #65 (1945) Meter: 7.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: Splendid are the heavens high, Beautiful the radiant sky, Where the golden stars are shining, And their rays, to earth inclining, -: Beckon us to heaven above :- It was on a Christmas night, Darkness veiled the starry height; But at once the heavens hoary Beamed with radiant light and glory, -: Coming from a wondrous star :- When this star so bright and clear Should illume the midnight drear, Then, according to tradition, Should a king of matchless vision -: Unto earth from heaven descend :- Sages from the East afar When they saw this wondrous star, Went to worship and adore Him And to lay their gifts before Him -: Who was born that midnight hour :- Him they found in Bethlehem Without crown or diadem, They but saw a maiden lowly With an infant pure and holy -: Resting in her loving arms :- Guided by the star they found Him whose praise the ages sound. We have still a star to guide us Whose unsullied rays provide us -: With the light to find our Lord :- And this star so fair and bright Which will ever lead aright, Is God’s word, divine and holy, Guiding all His children lowly -: Unto Christ, our Lord and King :- Languages: English
