Christmas Carol

Verse 1

With wond’ring awe the wisemen saw The star in heaven springing, And with delight, in peaceful night, They heard the angels singing:

Chorus

Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!

Verse 2

By light of star they traveled far To seek the lowly manger, A humble bed wherein was laid The wondrous little Stranger.

Verse 3

And still is found, the world around, The old and hallowed story, And still is sung in ev’ry tongue The angels’ song of glory:

Verse 4

The heav’nly star its rays afar On ev’ry land is throwing, And shall not cease till holy peace In all the earth is growing.
