Following the guiding star.
Each sacred goal TO win.
Did they bear their offerings,
Such wealth of precious things.
Unto one OF princely place.
Sprung, like them, from earthly kings2

In lowly spot forlorn,
Yet around whose glorious face
Shone Il halo like the morn.

One who God TO man shall teach:
"One who shall the night o'erthrow,
Bearing heaven with Him below
Love that triumphs over hate
Peace and joy that conquer woe"
