Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. With wond’ring awe the wisemen 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 ev’ry tongue The angels’ song of glory:
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
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.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
