S.M. - 6.6.8.6 Tunes1.
Behold, what star is this?
How beautiful and bright
A guide it is to the Gentiles
To the King of glory
2.
Behold, the wisemen all
Came from the orient
They came and made their obeisance
To Jesus Christ the blest
3.
May Thou light of the soul
Do illumine our land
Show the way and how to follow
Our Lord Emmanuel
4.
May ancestral spirits
And their groves and green trees
That are worshipp’d in heathen lands
Give way to Jesus Christ
5.
May high priests of the groves
All over Africa
Become true wise men indeed, to
Recive Jesus’ offering
6.
Father and Creator
Who revealed Jesus to
The heathens of those early days
Reveal Him to us too
Amen
