From the eastern mountains Press -ing on they come, Wise men in their wisdom

To His humble home; Stirred by deep de- vo - tion, Hast-ing from a

2 There their Lord and Saviour
Meek and lowly lay,
Wondrous light that led them
Onward on their way,
Ever now to lighten
Nations from afar,
As they journey homeward
By that guiding star.

3 Thou who in a manger
Once hast lowly lain,
Who dost now in glory

O'er all kingdoms reign,
Gather in the heathen,

Who in lands afar
Ne'er have seen the brightness
Of Thy guiding star.

4 Onward through the darkness Of the lonely night, Shining still before them

With Thy kindly light,
Guide them, Jew and Gentile,
Homeward from afar,

Young and old together,
By Thy guiding star.

5 Until every nation,

Whether bond or free,
'Neath Thy starlit banner,
Jesus, follows Thee
O'er the distant mountains

To that heavenly home,
Where no sin nor sorrow
Evermore shall come.

Rev. GODFREY THRING, 1879

Till the air

ces; "Christ is born," their choirs are sing - ing, d.

ev - 'ry-where Now with joy is ring ing. A-men.

2 For it dawns, the promised morrow Of His birth, who the earth

Rescues from her sorrow.

God to wear our form descendeth;

Of His grace to our race

Here His Son He lendeth.

STELLA 8.6.6.D.

3 Hark! a voice from yonder manger
Soft and sweet, doth entreat-

"Flee from woe and danger!

Brethren, come; from all that grieves you You are freed; all you need

Here your Saviour gives you."

4 Come, then, let us hasten yonder:
Here let all, great and small,

Kneel in awe and wonder.

Love Him who with love is yearning:

Hail the Star, that from far

Bright with hope is burning.

Rev. PAUL GERHARDT, 1653. Tr. by CATHERINE WINKWORTH, 1858
