To the cradle of our Lord;
Thou art still as bright
With a holy light,
In the pages of His word.

We follow on, we follow on,
And all the way that Star our guide shall be;
We follow on, we follow on,
Until in heav’n our Saviour’s face we see.

We had wandered far astray;
When a beam so lone
O’er the desert shone,
And we found the blessed way. [Refrain]

From the way that thou dost lead;
Thou dost brighter grow
As we onward go,
And we’ll ever joyful heed. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Star divine, that led the wise men]
