As With Gladness |
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 the 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 soul 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 for ever may we sing |
Hallelujahs to our king. |
