<p>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 glorious Lord, may we<br>
|
|
Evermore be led to Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>As with joyful steps they sped<br>
|
|
To that lowly manger bed<br>
|
|
There to bend the knee before<br>
|
|
Him Whom heaven and earth adore;<br>
|
|
So may we with willing feet<br>
|
|
Ever seek Thy mercy seat.</p>
|
|
<p>As they offered gifts most rare<br>
|
|
At that manger 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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!</p>
