As with gladness men of old

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 654 hymnals Topics: Coming to Christ Lyrics: 1 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 to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly cradle-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heav'n and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that 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 heav'nly King. 4 Holy Jesus, ev'ry 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. 5 In the heav'nly 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 Alleluias to our King. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 2:10-11 Used With Tune: DIX
