33. Astro el más bello en la regia cohorte

1 Astro el más bello en la regia cohorte,
Suave, argentina, miramos tu luz;
Haznos visible el lejano horizonte;
Guíanos al lecho del niño Jesús.

2 Vedlo dormido, por cuna un pesebre;
Quiso entre pobres, humilde nacer;
Ángeles ven en aquel niño endeble,
Al que dispone de todo poder.

3 ¿Qué le traeremos? ¿La mirra más fina?
¿Ricos aromas del último mar?
¿Oro sacado de todas las minas?
¿Cómo la fe en Él podemos mostrar?

4 Vamos serían tan ricos presentes:
Ellos no pueden su gracia alcanzar;
Muévenle aquellos que llevan fervientes
Preces del alma, que puede aceptar.
