- 1.
- Christians, lo, the star appeareth;
- Lo ’tis yet Messiah’s day;
- Still with tribute treasure laden
- Come the wise men on their way.
- 2.
- Where a life is spent in service,
- Walking where the Master trod,
- There is scattered myrrh most fragrant
- For the blessèd Christ of God.
- 3.
- Whoso bears his brother’s burden,
- Whoso shares another’s woe,
- Brings his frankincense to Jesus
- With the men of long ago.
- 4.
- When we soothe earth’s weary children
- Tending best the least of them,
- ’Tis the Lord himself we worship,
- Bringing gold to Bethlehem.

- Christians, lo, the star appeareth
- Leading still the ancient way;
- Christians, onward with your treasure;
- It is still Messiah’s day.
