Hail the long-expected Star!
Star of truth, that, ’mid the night,
Guides bewildered man aright.
2 Mild it shines on all beneath,
Piercing through the shades of death,
Scattering error’s wide-spread night,
Kindling darkness into light.
3 Nations all, remote and near,
Haste to see your Lord appear;
Haste, for him your hearts prepare,
