As with gladness men

• • 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 God, may we 
  • Evermore be led by Thee. 
  • 
    
  • As with joyful steps they sped, 
  • Saviour, to Thy lowly bed, 
  • There to bend the knee before 
  • Thee whom heaven and earth adore, 
  • So may we with willing feet 
  • Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 
  • 
    
  • 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 heavenly King. 
  • 
    
  • 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. 
  • 
    
  • 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 
  • Hallelujahs to our King
