G  D    G   D    C      G
As with gladness men of old 
C   D   G   C   G    D G
Did the guiding star behold 
G  D    G   D    C          G
As with joy they hailed its light 
C   D   G C     G   D   G
Leading onward, beaming bright 
G  D    G        D       G
So most gracious God may we 
C  D G    C  G   D  G
Ever more be led to Thee 
 
G  D    G  D   C          G
As with joyful steps they sped 
C  D    G  C  G  D   G
To that lowly manger bed 
G     D  G    D   C      G
There to bend the knee before 
C   D    G    C     G     D G
Him whom heav'n and earth a dore 
G  D   G       D       G
So may we with willing feet 
C D  G    C   G  D  G
Ever seek Thy mercy seat 
 
G  D    G   D   C          G
As they offered gifts most rare 
C  D    G  C   G    D   G
At that manger rude and bare 
G  D   G  D    C    G
So may we with holy joy 
C    D   G    C    G     D G
Pure and free from sin's alloy 
G   D   G         D         G
All our costliest treasures bring 
C      D  G     C   G     D  G
Christ to Thee, our heav'nly King 
 
G D  G  D  C     G
Holy Jesus ev'ry day 
C    D  G  C   G   D  G
Keep us in the narrow way 
G   D    G    D  C          G
And when earthly things are past 
C     D   G   C    G     D  G
Bring our ransomed souls at last 
G     D    G       D       G
Where they need no star to guide 
C     D  G      C   G  D  G
Where no clouds Thy glory hide
