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.

Although by stars Thou dost not lead
Thy ser­vants now be­low,
Thy Ho­ly Spir­it, when they need,
Will show them how to go.

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.

O Sav­ior, give us then Thy grace
To make us pure in heart,
That we may see Thee face to face
Hereafter, as Thou art.
