Did the guiding star behold
As with joy they hailed it's light
Leading onward, beaming bright
So most gracious God may we
Evermore be led by Thee
As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger bed
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heav'n and earth adore
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy seat
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 heav'nly King
Holy Jesus ev'ry 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
As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold As with joy they hailed it's light Leading onward, beaming bright So most gracious God may we Evermore be led by Thee As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed There to bend the knee before Him whom heav'n and earth adore So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat 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 heav'nly King Holy Jesus ev'ry 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 Explain Request ×
