Christus, Op. 97: Part 1. "When Jesus Our Lord Was Born" - "Say Where Is He Born" - "There Shall A Star"

When Jesus our Lord was born in Bethlehem
In the land of Judaea
Behold, from the East to the city of Jerusalem
There came wise men, and said:
Say, where is he born, the King of Judaea?
For we have seen his star
And are come to adore him
There shall a star from Jacob come forth
And a sceptre from Israel rise up
And dash in pieces princes and nations
How brightly beams the morning star!
What sudden radiance from afar
With light and comfort glowing
Thy word, Jesu, inly feeds us
Rightly leads us, life bestowing
Praise, O praise such love o'erflowing!"
