wise men in their wisdom, to His humble home;

shining still before them with Thy kindly light,

lead them, alien kindred, homeward from afar,

’neath Thy starlit banner, Lord, doth follow Thee.

where no sin nor sorrow ever more shall come.

Light of life that shineth ere the worlds began, 

draw Thou near and lighten ev’ry heart of man.
