  1. As with gladness men of old
    Did the guiding star behold;
    As with joy they hailed its light,
    Leading onward, beaming bright;
    So, most gracious Lord, may we
    Evermore be led by thee.
  2. As with joyful steps they sped
    To that lowly manger bed,
    There to bend the knee before
    Him whom heaven and earth adore;
    So may we with willing feet
    Ever seek thy mercy seat.
  3. As they offered gifts most rare,
    At that manger rude and bare,
    So may we with holy joy,
    Pure and free from sin's alloy,
    All our costliest treasures bring,
    Christ, to thee, our heavenly King.
  4. Holy Jesus, every day
    Keep us in the narrow way;
    And, when earthly things are past,
    Bring our ransomed souls at last
    Where they need no star to guide,
    Where no clouds thy glory hide.
    Amen.
