Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2174 First Line: Hasten, loyal mortals, onward to the star Refrain First Line: Marching forward, following the star Lyrics: 1. Hasten, loyal mortals, onward to the star, See its beams of glory beckon from afar; Past, the night of splendor, dawns the promised morn; Come rejoicing, praises voicing, Christ is born. Refrain Marching forward, following the star, Shining, beaming, brightly gleaming From the eastern skies afar; Joyful praises singing all the way! Swell the sweet undying song of Christmas Day. 2. March with joy and gladness, countless voices ring, Angels high in glory worshipping the King; Hail the Child of blessing, joy of all the earth; Watch-fires gleaming, starlight beaming, greet His birth. [Refrain] 3. Hasten, loyal mortals, seek the manger shrine, Bring your precious treasures to the Lord divine; Soon the great Messiah shall your eyes behold; Homage render, sweet and tender, love’s pure gold.
