STILL, as of old, the wise men scan,
Before the Epiphany through the night,
The heavenly roof God gave to man:
O Light, reveal to them Thy light!

Thou, who dost lead their journeying far
Who learn Thy lore in stars above,
And in our earth, herself a star:
O Love, reveal to them Thy love!

Redeemer of our human lot
For ever since the world began,
To those who serve yet see Thee not,
O God, reveal Thyself in Man!
