Welcome That Star In Judah's Sky Lyrics

1. Welcome that Star in Judah's sky,
That voice o'er Bethlehem's palmy glen:
The lamp far Sages hailed on High,
The tones that thrilled the shepherd men:
Glory to God in loftiest Heaven!
Thus Angels smote the echoing chord;
Glad tidings unto man forgiven,
Peace from the Presence of the Lord.

2. The Shepherds sought that Birth Divine,
The Wise Men traced their guided way;
There, by strange light and mystic sign,
The God they came to worship lay.
A human Babe in beauty smiled,
Where lowing oxen round Him trod:
A Maiden clasped her awful Child,
Pure offspring of the Breath of God.

3. Those voices from on high are mute,
The Star the Wise Men saw is dim:
But hope still guides the wanderer's foot,
And faith renews the Angel hymn:
Glory to God in loftiest Heaven!
Touch with glad hand the ancient chord,
Good Tidings unto man forgiven,
Peace from the Presence of the Lord.
