w: did the guid-ing star be-hold;
w: to that low-ly cra-dle-bed,
w: at that cra-dle rude and bare;
w: keep us in the nar-row way;
w: need they no cre-at-ed light;

[G2D2][FD2]G [A2D2][G2D2] | [c2C2][c2D2] [B4D4] |
w: as with_ joy they hailed its light,
w: there to_ bend the knee be-fore
w: so may_ we with ho-ly joy,
w: and, when_ earth-ly things are past,
w: Thou its_ Light, its Joy, its Crown,

w: lead-ing on-ward, beam-ing bright;
w: Him whom heav'n and earth a-dore;
w: pure, and free from sin's al-loy,
w: bring our ran-somed lives at last
w: Thou its Sun which goes not down;
%
[B2D2][A2D2] [G2D2][B2D2] | [d3D3][cD] [B4D4] |
w: so, most gra-cious God, may we
w: so may we with willing feet
w: all our cost-liest trea-sures bring,
w: where they need no star to guide,
w: there for ev-er may we sing

w: ev-er-more be led to thee.
w: ev-er seek Thy mer-cy seat.
w: Christ, to Thee, our heav'n-ly King.
w: where no clouds Thy glo-ry hide.
w: al-le-lu-ias to our King.
