“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. “As they offered gifts most rare At Thy cradle, 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.”
