Lo the eastern Sages Rise

Lo the Eastern Sages Rise

1. Lo! the eastern sages rise,
At a signal in the skies,
S & A Brighter than the brightest gem, 

Men Tis the star of Bethlehem. Brighter than the brightest gem,
Tis the star of Bethlehem

2. Balaam’s mystic words appear
Full of light, divinely clear;
S & A And the import wrapp'd in them, 

Men Is the star of Bethlehem.
And the import wrapp'd in them,
Is the star of Bethlehem.

3. Rocks and deserts can't impede, On they press, no aid they need ;
S & A Day and night a guide to them, 

Men Tis the star of Bethlehem.

Day and night a guide to them, Tis the star of Bethlehem

4. Now the holy wise men meet
At the Royal infant’s feet;
S & A Offerings rich are made by them 

Men To the star of Bethlehem. Offerings rich are made by them
To the star of Bethlehem.

5. Joyful let us quickly rise,
Still the signal's in the skies;
S & A David's rod of Jesse's stem, 

Men Is the star of Bethlehem. David's rod of Jesse's stem,
Is the star of Bethlehem.
