With Wondering Awe
Lyrics
1. With wondering 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 where-in 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 a-far
On ev'ry land is throwing,
And shall not cease till holy peaceful
In all the earth is growing.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
