Refrain: Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest 2x

Where is he who is king of the Jews?
King of the Jews, King of the Jews? 
Where is he who is king of the Jews? 
We have come to worship him. 

Refrain: Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest 2x

We have seen the star in the East, Star in the East
We have seen the star in the East, Star in the East
We have come to worship him

Refrain: Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest 2x

With some gold and frankincense and myrrh
With some gold and frankincense and myrrh 
We have come to worship him

Refrain: Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest 2x

A Singing Communion of Churches

During this Advent season, LWF member churches are sharing hymns from their congregations to show how the Lutheran communion regions prepare for Christ’s coming into this world.

We want to use this period to reflect on and celebrate the diversity, uniqueness and oneness of God’s gifts to us. Follow the #lwfadvent calendar lutheranworld.org/advent-hymns
