  1. O Lord God and Lord of the earth
    Thou Who didst, by a star,
    Guide the sades who from east came
    To Thy humble manger.

  2. When will the bright light of Thy dawn
    Shine round our dear city?
    And the hearts of all our princes
    When they will draw near Thee.

  3. When will all those who rule o’er us
    Fall down Thee to adore?
    When they will count as naught those things
    They had prized high before.

  4. Many still in bondage are held
    And so despise this flock
    They look down on their liberty
    They boast, being under lock.

  5. Please, our dear Lord God, to lighten,
    Their darkness, send Thy light
    That they may their great folly see
    That they may put it right.

  6. Then only will our land prosper
    And its offering bring Thee,
    Offering that comes free from the heart,
    And, in truth, worship Thee. Amen.
