As With Gladness,
Men Of Old
Matthew 2:10 When they saw
the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Words:
William C. Dix, 1860.
Music: “Dix,” Konrad Kocher,
Stimmen aus dem Reiche Gottes, 1838.
As with gladness, men of
old
Did the guiding star behold
As with joy they hailed its
light
Leading onward, beaming bright
So, most glorious Lord, may
we
Evermore be led to Thee.
As with joyful steps they sped
To that
lowly manger bed
There to bend the knee before
Him Whom Heaven and earth
adore;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy seat.
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.
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
Alleluias to our
King!
