<div class="lyrics">
<p>From the eastern mountains, pressing on, they come,<br>
Wise men in their wisdom, to His humble home;<br>
Stirred by deep devotion, hasting from afar,<br>
Ever journeying onward, guided by a star.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Light of life that shineth ere the worlds began,<br>
Draw Thou near, and lighten every heart of man.</p>
<p>There their Lord and Savior meek and lowly lay,<br>
Wondrous Light that led them onward on their way,<br>
Ever now to lighten nations from afar,<br>
As they journey homeward by that guiding star.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Thou Who in a manger once hast lowly lain,<br>
Who dost now in glory o&#8217;er all kingdoms reign,<br>
Gather in the heathen who in lands afar<br>
Ne&#8217;er have seen the brightness of Thy guiding star.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Gather in the outcasts, all who&#8217;ve gone astray,<br>
Throw Thy radiance o&#8217;er them, guide them on their way.<br>
Those who never knew Thee, those who&#8217;ve wandered far,<br>
Guide them by the brightness of Thy guiding star.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Onward through the darkness of the lonely night,<br>
Shining still before them with Thy kindly light.<br>
Guide them, Jew and Gentile, homeward from afar,<br>
Young and old together, by Thy guiding Star.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Until every nation, whether bond or free,<br>
&#8217;Neath Thy starlit banner, Jesus, follows Thee.<br>
O&#8217;er the distant mountains to that heavenly home,<br>
Where nor sin nor sorrow evermore shall come.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
