This is an epiphany hymn. We tend to forget that the kings did not visit Jesus until Jan 6th , Epiphany, or the Twelfth day of Christmas. Children in Spain, for example, also get gifts at Epiphany as they celebrate the arrival of the Kings

1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright;
so, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore your splendor see.

2 As with joyful steps they sped
to that lowly manger bed,
there to bend the knee before
Christ, whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek your mercy seat.

3 As they offered gifts most rare
at that manger plain and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin’s alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to you, our heavenly King.

4 Holy Jesus, every day
keep us in the narrow way,
and when mortal things are past,
bring our ransomed lives at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds your glory hide.

Hi Keith. Remember the tune but not the words. Father unto thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. This was a hymn we used to sing to that tune. Nice organ sound. Enjoyed my Boxing Day listen waiting for the eight family members to arrive for dinner and opening presents. John

Hi Keith,

Not one I know, but a very nice organ sound and very appropriate for the time of year
