Let ev­ery soul His love em­brace,
All the choirs ce­les­ti­al sing it,

For now Thy face I can­not see;

gen­tle

Gaspar, Mel­chi­or, Bál­thă­zár,
Were giv’n with joy to me,
Gentle shep­herd, gen­tle shep­herd,
So pure and so sweet,
Tho’ my step un­steady be;
Amid our dai­ly life.
Take me firm­ly by the hand;
Son of God most high,
And own its gen­tle sway.
Thro’ the skies this sac­red day.
How swelled their hearts with un­told joy!
Speak words of love to me.
O may it bless our long­ing eyes,
There by His love o’er­shad­ed,
Your sweet re­spons­ive lay.
O more than joy, to that dear Lord,
’Tis a warn­ing I have heard o’er and o’er,
That told us of a Sav­ior’s love;
Across the years so marred by sin
Thy gift of peace on earth se­cure,
