O Thou Who by a Star Didst Guide

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.
