Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Sons of men, behold from afar 
 Sons of men, behold from far, Hail the long-expected star! Star of truth that guilds the night, And guides bewildered men aright. 
 Mild it shines on all beneath, Piercing through the shades of death; Scattering error’s wide-spread night; Kindling darkness into light. 
 Nations all, remote and near, Haste to see your Lord appear; Haste, for him your hearts prepare. Meet him manifested there! 
 There behold the day-spring rise, Pouring light on mortal eyes; See it chase the shades away, Shining to the perfect day!
