Representative Text

1 From lands of the East we have traveled afar,
Led on by the gleam of a beautiful star;
Thru desert o'er mountain, rough, rugged and bleak,
We journey rejoicing--Messiah we seek!

Refrain:
The star, Lo! the star,
We're onward proceeding, unmindful, unheeding
all else but the leading of yonder bright gem.
Lo! the star, the beautiful star,
We're onward proceeding, unmindful, unheeding
all else but the leading of yonder bright gem,
The dkies, bending o'er us unite in a chorus,
And brighter before us the star, the star of Bethlehem!

2 We long to behold Him--A Saviour foretold
By sages and prophets of centuries old--
To worship before Him, His praises to sing,
O, wonderful Saviour, Redeemer and King! [Refrain]
