Lyrics

[Verse 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 to Thee
[Verse 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
[Verse 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
[Verse 4]
Holy Jesu, 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
[Verse 5]
In the heavenly country bright
Need they no created light
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown
Thou its Sun which goes not down
There forever may we sing
Hallelujah to our King
Written by: Conrad Kocher, William Chatterton Dix
