E1:Splen_did are the hea_vens high,/Beau_ti_ful the ra_diant sky,/Where the gol_den stars are shin_ing,/And their rays, to earth in_clin_ing,/Be_ckon us to heaven a_bove/Be_ckon us to heaven a_bove
E2:It was on a Christ_mas night,/Dark_ness veiled the star_ry height;/But at once the hea_vens hoa_ry/Beamed with ra_diant light and glo_ry,/Com_ing from a wond_rous star/Com_ing from a wond_rous star
E3:When this star so bright and clear/Should il_lume the mid_night drear,/Then, ac_cord_ing to tra_di_tion,/Should a king of match_less vi_sion/Un_to earth from heaven des_cend/Un_to earth from heaven des_cend
E4:Sa_ges from the East a_far/When they saw this wond_rous star,/Went to wor_ship and a_dore Him/And to lay their gifts be_fore Him/Who was born that mid_night hour/Who was born that mid_night hour
E5:Him they found in Beth_le_hem/With_out crown or di_a_dem,/They but saw a mai_den low_ly/With an in_fant pure and ho_ly/Rest_ing in her lo_ving arms/Rest_ing in her lo_ving arms
E6:Guid_ed by the star they found/Him whose praise the a_ges sound./We have still a star to guide us/Whose un_sul_lied rays pro_vide us/With the light to find our Lord/With the light to find our Lord
E7:And this star so fair and bright/Which will e_ver lead a_right,/Is God’s word, di_vine and ho_ly,/Guid_ing all His chil_dren low_ly/Un_to Christ, our Lord and King/Un_to Christ, our Lord and King/
