Product Description
With the first stanza written from the perspective of the magi, this stately piece gradually swells into a grand statement of praise and anticipation of the Lord's second coming. "As the wise men came from afar, so too, have we been drawn near. We await Your grand return; from the sky You shall appear."
Lyrics
Star of the East, lead us on
'Til we reach the house of Messiah
There we'll lay our gifts at His feet
And worship Christ, the Lord
We will worship Christ, the Lord
Star of the East, lead us on
'Til we reach the house of Messiah
There we'll lay our gifts at His feet
And worship Christ, the Lord
We will worship Christ, the Lord
We'll cry, "Holy, holy."
We'll cry, "Worthy is the King."
We'll cry, "Holy, holy."
We will be and worship Him.
As the wise men came from afar
So too have we been drawn near
We await Your grand return
From the sky You shall appear
Light of the World, lead us on
'Til we reach the throne of the Savior
There we'll lay our crowns at His feet
And worship Christ, the Lord
We'll cry, "Holy, holy."
We'll cry, "Worthy is the Lamb."
We'll cry, "Holy, holy."
We will be and worship Him.
We'll cry, "Holy, holy."
We'll cry, "Worthy is the Lamb."
We'll cry, "Holy, holy."
We will be and worship Him.
We will worship Christ, the Lord.
Amen! Amen!
