<p>When from the East the wise men came,<br>
|
|
Led by the Star of Bethlehem,<br>
|
|
The gifts they brought to Jesus were<br>
|
|
Of gold and frankincense and myrrh.</p>
|
|
<p>Bright gold of Ophir, passing fine,<br>
|
|
Proclaims a king of royal line;<br>
|
|
For David’s son in David’s town,<br>
|
|
Is born the heir of David’s crown.</p>
|
|
<p>The incense clouds, with fragrance rare,<br>
|
|
The presence of a God declare;<br>
|
|
Lo! kings in adoration fall,<br>
|
|
For Mary’s Son is Lord of all.</p>
|
|
<p>The myrrh, with bitter taste, foreshows,<br>
|
|
A life of sorrows, wounds, and woes;<br>
|
|
The deadly cup, that overran<br>
|
|
With anguish for the Son of Man.</p>
|
|
<p>Our gold upon Thine altar lies;<br>
|
|
Our prayers to Thee, as incense, rise;<br>
|
|
Accept as myrrh our tears and sighs;<br>
|
|
O King, O God, O Sacrifice.</p>
