Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#54b

54b. O thou, who by a star didst guide

1 O thou, who by a star didst guide
The wise men on their way,
Until it came and stood beside
The place where Jesus lay;

2 Although by stars thou dost not lead
Thy servants now below,
Thy Holy Spirit, when they need,
Will show them how to go. A-men.

3 As yet we know thee but in part,
But still we trust thy word
That blessèd are the pure in heart,
For they shall see the Lord.

4 O Saviour, give us then thy grace
To make us pure in heart,
That we may see thee, face to face,
Hereafter as thou art.

Amen.
