O Thou Who By A Star Didst Guide

O Thou Who by a star didst guide

The wise men on their way,

Until it came and stood beside

The place where Jesus lay.

Although by stars Thou dost not lead

Thy servants now below,

Thy Holy Spirit, when they need,

Will show them how to go.

As yet we know Thee but in part;

But still we trust Thy Word,

That blessèd are the pure in heart,

For they shall see the Lord.

O Savior, give us then Thy grace

To make us pure in heart,

That we may see Thee face to face

Hereafter, as Thou art.
