O Thou who by a star didst guide

John Mason Neale • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12

Although by stars you do not lead Your servants now below, Your Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go.

As yet we know you but in part, But still we trust your word That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord.

O Savior, give us then your grace For pure in heart we'd be, That we may see you, face to face, Through all eternity.

Verse 5

Amen.
