Hymn A & M 79- As with gladness men of old

 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.

2. As with joyful steps they sped

saviour, to thy lowly bed;

there to bend the knee before

him whom heaven and earth adore;

so may we with willing feet

ever seek the mercy seat.

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.

4. Holy Jesus! 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.

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 for ever may we sing

alleluias to our King.
