As with Gladness
As with gladness wise men bold
did the guiding star behold;
As with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward beaming bright;
So, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore your glory see.
As with joyful steps they sped
to that lowly manger bed,
There to bend the knee before,
Christ, whom heaven and earth adore;
So may we with willing feet
ever seek your mercy seat.
As they offered gifts most rare
at that manger rude and bare,
So may we with holy joy
pure and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to You, our heavenly King
