Cântăre Bethlehems bright star

1. The Magi of the East,

All coming from afar,

Were guided by the friendly light

Of Bethlehem’s bright star.



R: O Star, bright, beautiful Star,

Shine on us from the blue,

And guide our little pilgrim feet

Our risen Lord to view.



2. The Magi of the East

Enjoyed the happy lot

Of following that brilliant guide

Which marked the sacred spot.



3. May we, the favored few,

Be guided from above,

That we may follow on to know

The bliss of perfect love.



4. The Magi of the East

Extolled the Infant King;

But we "behold the Lamb of God"—

To Him our carols sing.
