With Wondering Awe
Awe-Inspiring Journey: Wisemen, Starlight, and Angels' Song
Lyrics
With wond'ring awe the wisemen saw
Witnessing with amazement, the wise men observed
The star in heaven springing
Noticed the star emerging in the heavens
And with delight, in peaceful night
Experiencing joy, in a tranquil night
They heard the angels singing:
They listened with delight to the angels' singing
"Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!" (hossana, hosanna)
Heard the angels proclaiming "Hosanna to his name!"
By light of star, they travelled far
Guided by the star's light, they journeyed a great distance
To seek the lowly manger
They sought out the humble manger
A humble bed wherein was laid
A modest bed where the marvelous little Stranger lay
The wondrous little Stranger
The wondrous child
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
Continuing to praise with "Hosanna to his name!"
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name! (hosanna)
Reiterating the praise with "Hosanna to his name!"
And still is found, the whole world around
Even now, the timeless and revered narrative persists
The old and hallowed story
The ancient and sacred tale endures
And still is sung in ev'ry tongue
And the angels' song of glory is sung in every language
The angels' song of glory:
The heavenly chorus resounds: "Hosanna to his name!"
"Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!" (hosana, hosanna)
Repeating the cry of "Hosanna to his name!"
The heav'nly star its rays afar
The celestial star casts its beams across distant lands
On ev'ry land is throwing
Illuminating every corner of the earth
And shall not cease till holy peace
And will persist until a sacred peace envelops the entire world
In all the earth is growing
Anticipating a lasting peace in all the earth
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name
Continuing to exclaim "Hosanna to his name!"
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name
Repeating the joyful proclamation "Hosanna to his name!"
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name
Reiterating the praise with "Hosanna to his name!"
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name
Continuing to celebrate with "Hosanna to his name!"
