Hymnal: Voices of Praise #364 (1883) First Line: In the wintry heaven Lyrics: 1 In the wintry heaven
Shines a wondrous Star;
In the East the wise men
Watched it from afar,
Asking, "What this lustre,
So unearthly bright?"
Answering, "Christ in glory,
Comes to earth tonight."
2 O'er the dusty highway,
O'er the desert drear,
From the East, the wise men,
Watch it shining clear;
Asking, "Shall we follow
In this starlight way?"
Answering, "Yes, 'twill lead us
To the perfect day."
3 In a lowly Manger,
Lies an Infant weak;
Is it He whom wise men
Come so far to seek?
Asking, "Where the monarch?
Where Judea's King?"
Saying, "Gifts and worship
To His throne we bring."
4 In our hearts, we children,
See this Star once more;
Not as wise men saw it,
In the days of yore;
Asking, "May we bring Him
Childhood's love to-day?"
Answering, "Come, dear children,
Jesus says we may."
