Many years ago;
As they jour­ney home­ward
They be­held it from afar,
They be­held it from afar,
Lead us all to seek the King of kings to­night;
start
To lov­ing Je­sus’ feet,
Till the na­tions from afar
The wis­er Magi see from far
Though hid­den in ob­scur­ity.
Tell us, shep­herds, what ye saw

guid­ing star

Whose beams from the heav­en­ly gates ajar
Thou who in a man­ger
To the Christ Child lead­ing them;
To the Christ Child lead­ing them;
Shepherds on the hill­side
And oh, the light! And oh, the light!
Our long­ing eyes shall greet.
Till her sons from zone to zone
And led by light, to light they press
Throughout our life, and when we die,
Led ye to a bed of straw
