Lyrics

Dark the night lay, wild and dreary moaned the wind by Melchior’s tower, sad the sage, while pond’ring weary o’er the doom of Judah’s power: when behold, the clouds are parted—westward, lo, a light gleams far! Now his heart’s true quest has started, for his eyes have seen the star.
Now, Lord Jesus, hear our calling, deep the darkness where we stray; how shall we, mid boulders falling, know for Thine the rough-hewn way? Lo, a light shines down to guide us where Thy saints and angels are! Now we know Thy love beside us; for our eyes have seen the star.
