502. O God, Who by a Star Did Guide

1 O God, who by a star did guide
The Wise Men on their way,
Until it came and stood beside
The place where Jesus lay.

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

3 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.

4 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.

Amen.
