-----
There shall a star from Jacob come forth,
And a scepter from Israel rise up,
And dash in pieces princes and nations.
How brightly beams the morning star,
With sudden radiance from afar,
With light and comfort glowing.
Thy word, Jesus, inly feeds us, rightly leads us, life bestowing.
Praise, O praise such love o'erflowing.
-Numbers 24:17, Psalm 2:9, and Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608)
Translated by William Mercer (1811-1873)
