-::::''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 onward, guided by a star.
-::::''2.''
-:There their Lord and Savior 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 nor sin nor sorrow evermore shall come.}}
