W:1) We would see Jesus; lo! his star is shining
W:above the stable while the angels sing;
W:There in a manger on the hay reclining;
W:haste, let us lay our gifts before the King.
W:
W:2) We would see Jesus, Mary's Son most holy,
W:Light of the village life from day to day;
W:Shining revealed through every task most lowly,
W:The Christ of God, the life, the truth, the way.

W:3) We would see Jesus, on the mountain teaching,
W:With all the list'ning people gathered round;
W:While birds and flow'rs and sky above are preaching
W:The blessedness which simple trust has found.
W:
W:4) We would see Jesus, in His work of healing,
W:At eventide before the sun was set;
W:Divine and human, in His deep revealing
W:Of God *made flesh, in loving service met. [*and man]
W:
W:5) We would see Jesus, in the early morning,
W:Still as of old He calleth, 'Follow Me!'
W:Let us arise, all meaner service scorning;
W:Lord, we are Thine, we give ourselves to Thee.
