153R As With Gladness, Those of Old
Meter, 7.7.7.7.7.7., Tune, DIX
1. As with glad-ness, those of old
did the guid-ing star be-hold;
As with joy they hailed its light
lead-ing on-ward, beam-ing bright:
So, most glor-ious one, may we
Ev-er-more be led to thee.
2. As with joy-ful steps they sped
to that low-ly mang-er bed;
There to bend the knee be-fore
one whom heaven and earth a-dore;
So may we with will-ing feet
ev-er seek thy mer-cy seat.
3. As they offer-ed gifts most rare
at that mang-er rude and bare;
So may we with ho-ly joy,
pure and free from sin’s al-loy,
all our cost-liest treas-ures bring,
Christ, to thee, and heav-en sing.
