Behold, what star is this
How beautiful and bright!
A guide it is to the Gentiles
To the king of glory
Behold, the wisemen all
Came from the Orient,
They came and made their obeisance
To Jesus Christ the Blest
May Thou light of the soul
Do illumine our land,
Show the way and how to follow
Our Lord Emmanuel
May ancestral spirits
And their groves and green trees
That are worshipped in heathen lands
Give way to Jesus Christ
May high priests of the groves
All over Africa
Become true wise men indeed, to
Receive Jesus' offering
Father and Creator
Who revealed Jesus to
The heathens of those early days
Reveal Him to us too. Amen.
