1. With wondering awe
The wise men saw
The star in heaven springing;
And with delight,
In peaceful night,
They heard the angels singing.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
2. By light of star
They traveled far
To seek the lowly manger,
A humble bed
Wherein was laid
The wondrous little Stranger.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
3. And still is found
The world around,
The old and hallowed story;
And still is sung
In every tongue
The angels’ song of glory.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
4. The heavenly star
Its rays afar
On every land is throwing
And shall not cease
Till holy peace
In all the earth is growing.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
