William Chatterton Dix's "As With Gladness Men of Old" is a reflection on the account of the journey of the magi to the Christ-child as told in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 2, verses 1-12, with additional allusions to Revelation 21:23 and 22:5. Dix analogizes the journey of the "men of old" to each Christian's individual pilgrimage to Jesus, using in the first three stanzas the pattern "as they ... so may we." Stanza 4 is a direct petition to Jesus, asking that at the journey's end, the Christian find rest in Him "in the heavenly country bright." This new setting for SATB choir and organ features a folk-like melody that rises to its peak in the penultimate line of each verse before gracefully descending to the verse's end.
