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