Text:Star of Jacob
Tune:[Star of Jacob, ever beaming]
Composer:Westlake

112. Star of Jacob

1 Star of Jacob, ever beaming,
Bright and clear, of peace the sign;
'Mid the stars of highest heaven
Glows no purer ray than thine.

2 All in stoles of snowy brightness,
Unto thee the angels sing,
Unto thee the virgin choirs,
Mother of th' Eternal King,
Mother of th' Eternal King.

3 Joyful is thy path they scatter
Roses white and lilies fair;
Yet with thy chaste bosom's whiteness,
Rose nor lily can compare.

4 Oh! that this low earth of ours,
Answering th' angelic strain,
With thy praises might re-echo,
Till the heavens replied again.

5 Honor, glory, virtue, merit,
Be to Thee, O Virgin's Son!
With the Father and the Spirit,
While the eternal ages run.

6 Star of Jacob, ever beaming,
Bright and clear, of peace the sign;
'Mid the stars of highest heaven
Glows no purer ray than thine.
