58. A star is moving thro' the sky, Halleluia!

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.
