| As with gladness, men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light Leading onward, beaming bright: So most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led by Thee! |
As with joyful steps they sped Saviour to Your lowly bed There to bend the knee before You Who heaven and earth adore So may we with willing feet Ever seek Your mercy-seat! |
Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in Your narrow way And when earthly things are past Bring our ransomed souls at last Where we need no star to guide Where no clouds Your Glory hide! |

'And when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts: gold and frankincense and myrrh.' Matthew 2:11.
God has a way of revealing Himself to men at their daily occupations. It may be the coal-pit or the wash-tub, the plough or the desk; that makes no difference to Him. If a man is really seeking God, he will surely find Him along the line of his daily toil.
