1. From The Eastern Mountains From the eastern mountains, Pressing on they come, Wise men in their wisdom To His humble home; Stirred by deep devotion, Hasting from afar, Ever journeying onward, Guided by a star. Light of Light that shineth Ere the world began, Draw Thou near, and lighten Every heart of man. From the eastern mountains, Pressing on they come, Wise men in their wisdom To His humble home; Stirred by deep devotion, Hasting from afar, Ever journeying onward, Guided by a star.
