| − | As with gladness men of old<br>
| |
| − | Did the guiding star behold;<br>
| |
| − | As with joy they hailed its light,<br>
| |
| − | Leading onward, beaming bright,<br>
| |
| − | So, most gracious Lord, may we<br>
| |
| − | Evermore be led by Thee!<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | As with joyful steps they sped,<br>
| |
| − | Saviour, to Thy lowly bed,<br>
| |
| − | There to bend the knee before<br>
| |
| − | Thee whom heaven and earth adore,<br>
| |
| − | So may we with willing feet<br>
| |
| − | Ever seek Thy mercy-seat!<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | As they offered gifts most rare<br>
| |
| − | At Thy cradle, rude and bare,<br>
| |
| − | So may we with holy joy,<br>
| |
| − | Pure and free from sin's alloy,<br>
| |
| − | All our costliest treasures bring,<br>
| |
| − | Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King!<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | Holy Jesus, every day<br>
| |
| − | Keep us in the narrow way;<br>
| |
| − | And when earthly things are past.<br>
| |
| − | Bring our ransomed souls at last<br>
| |
| − | Where they need no star to guide,<br>
| |
| − | Where no clouds Thy glory hide.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | In the heavenly country bright<br>
| |
| − | Need they no created light;<br>
| |
| − | Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown,<br>
| |
| − | Thou its Sun which goes not down.<br>
| |
| − | There forever may we sing<br>
| |
| − | Alleluias to our King!
