Sons of Men

Sons of men, behold from 'far,
Hail the long expected star;
Jacob's Star that gilds the night,
Guides bewildered nature right;
Jacob's Star that gilds the night,
Guides bewildered nature right;
Jacob's Star that gilds the night,
Guides bewildered nature right.

Mild it shines on all beneath,
Piercing through the shades of death;
Scattering error's widespread night,
Kindling darkness into light;
Scattering error's widespread night,
Kindling darkness into light;
Scattering error's widespread night,
Kindling darkness into light.

Nations all, remote and near,
Haste to see your God appear;
Haste, for Him your hearts prepare,
Meet Him manifested there;
Haste, for Him your hearts prepare,
Meet Him manifested there;
Haste, for Him your hearts prepare,
Meet Him manifested there.

Sing, ye morning stars again,
God descends to dwell with men;
Deigns for man His life t'employ,
Shout ye sons of God for joy;
Deigns for man His life t'employ,
Shout ye sons of God for joy;
Deigns for man His life t'employ,
Shout ye sons of God for joy.
