more beauteous than the noonday light?
It shines to herald forth the King,
and Gentiles to his crib to bring.

who told the rise of Jacob's star;
and eastern sages with amaze
upon the wondrous token gaze.
3 The guiding star above is bright;
within them shines a clearer light,
and leads them on with power benign
to seek the Giver of the sign.
4 O Jesus, while the star of grace
impels us on to seek thy face,
let not our slothful hearts refuse
the guidance of thy light to use.

to Christ, revealed in earthly night,
to God the Holy Ghost we raise
our equal and unceasing praise! Scripture: Matthew 2:2 Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS Text Sources: Breviary, Paris, 1736; Other translators: Editors of Hymns Ancient and Modern, alt.

and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
