1 A star is moving through the sky,
Halleluia!
Before the wise men, wondrously.
Halleluia! Halleluia!
2 They know by this that heaven's great King,
Halleluia!
Good news to them on earth doth bring.
Halleluia! Halleluia!
3 Thus come they unto Bethlehem,
Halleluia!
Thy lamp, O Lord, is lighting them.
Halleluia! Halleluia!
4 Gold, incense, myrrh, to Him they bear,
Halleluia!
And psalms, and hymns, and songs prepare.
Halleluia! Halleluia!
5 Thus should we also, all our days,
Halleluia!
To Jesus offer holy praise.
Halleluia! Halleluia!
6 Praise to the Father, and the Son,
Halleluia!
And Holy Ghost upon one throne.
Halleluia! Halleluia!
7 Praise to the Holy Trinity,
Halleluia!
From now to all eternity.
Halleluia! Halleluia!
