There came three kings from eastern land, Star-led by God's Almighty hand, To Christward thro' Hierusalem, Unto the crib at Bethlehem. God, thither to our footsteps guide, To serve that Babe at every tide. 2. Within the star, so great and sheen, A golden crowned Child is seen; His sceptre was a cross of gold. His face like sunlight to behold. God, ever now to man below Light from you blissful star bestow. 3. From Morning-land, in haste the while, They journey many a hundred mile: O'er hill and dale, in frost and snow, By land, by water, on they go. God, may the roadway never be Too rough and hard that leads to Thee. 4. Why, Herod, honour so the kings? Their minds are set on other things: Forth from the stately court in speed They to the lowly crib proceed. God, see we never swerve aside, But keep Thy path, whate'er betide. 5. No sooner come within the stall Then down upon the knee they fall, And offer Him, in order meet, Gold, myrrh, and incense passing sweet. God, take our gifts, or great or small, Heart, soul, life, limb, name, substance - all. 6. By frankincense the three proclaim That God Almighty is His Name; Myrrh to the Son of Man they bring, But gold in token of the King. God, keep us steadfast in this creed, From heresy and schism freed. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
