1  From the eastern mountains, Pressing on, they come, Wise men in their wisdom, To His humble home, Stirred by deep devotion, Hasting from afar, Ever journeying onwards, Guided by a star. 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  Gather in the outcasts, All who've gone astray, Throw Thy radiance o'er them, Guide them on their way; Those who never knew Thee, Those who've wandered far, Guide them by the brightness Of Thy guiding star.

5  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.
