1. All hail the Star in Judah's sky!
All hail the Dayspring from on High!
Awake from sin's dark dream,
Lo! from the parted clouds above,
Shines forth the light of Heaven's own love,
The Star of Bethlehem,
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise ye the Lord!

2. To Adam's sons, an exiled race,
Their God Himself, with wondrous Grace,
Hath come and sought to them
Who sought Him not; and they surprised
Behold a light that leads to Christ, --
The Star of Bethlehem.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise ye the Lord!

3. Clear from the Heaven's a Ray of Love
Stood over Mary's house, and wove
A dazzling diadem!
Ring out your joy, all Christians true,
And may Christ's Light be seen by you, --
His Star of Bethlehem.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise ye the Lord!

4. Man is no lonely wanderer now
Since on the Infant Jesus' Brow
First shone that peaceful beam;
One with us in our low estate,
He lifts our heart to Heaven's high Gate!
Hail, Star of Bethlehem!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise ye the Lord!
