With wondering awe the wise men sawThe star in heaven springing,And with delight, in peaceful night,They heard the angel singing:Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to His name!By light of star they traveled farTo seek the lowly manger,A humble bed wherein was laidThe wondrous little Stranger.Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to His name!And still is found, the world around,The old and hallowed story,And still is sung in every tongueThe angels’ song of glory:Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to His name!The heavenly star its rays afarOn every land is throwing,And shall not cease till holy peaceIn all the earth is growing.Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to His name!
