Representative Text

1. El la oriento venis saĝular'
Al la infaneto, Reĝo de l' homar'.
Ili vidis lumon nokte sur ĉiel':
Venis kondukataj de gvidanta stel'.

2. En humila hejmo ili trovis Lin,
Kaj kun adorado teren klinis sin.
Ho, mirinda lumo, kiu el ĉiel'
Ilin kondukadis: Dia gvida stel'!

3. Nur en fojna trogo kuŝis Vi, Sinjor';
Tamen super ĉio reĝas nun en glor'.
Sed ankoraŭ multaj vivas en malhel':
Ilin ankaŭ lumu Via gvida stel'.

4. Ĉiujn forvagantojn revenigu Vi;
Helpu perdiĝantojn Via lum-radi'.
Al la nesciantoj pri la vivo-cel'
Donu klaran lumon — brilu Via stel'.

5. Tra malluma nokto daŭre gvidu Vi
Per la sava lumo de l' evangeli'.
Voku ĉiun genton hejmen al ĉiel';
Ame kondukadu per gvidanta stel'.

Godfrey Thring (b. Alford, Somersetshire, England, 1823; d. Shamley Green, Guilford, Surrey, England, 1903) was born in the parsonage of Alford, where his father was rector. Educated at Balliol College, Oxford, England, he was ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1847. After serving in several other parishes, Thring returned to Alford and Hornblotten in 1858 to succeed his father as rector, a position he retained until his own retirement in 1893. He was also associated with Wells Cathedral (1867-1893). After 1861 Thring wrote many hymns and published several hymnals, including Hymns Congregational (1866), Hymns and Sacred Lyrics (1874), and the respected A Church of England Hymn Book Adapted to the Daily Services of the Church… Go to person page >
