When from the East the wise men came,
Led by the Star of Bethlehem,
The gifts they brought to Jesus were
Of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
When from the East the wise men came,
Led by the Star of Bethlehem,
From the East wise men came,
Led by the Star.
Bright gold of Ophir, passing fine,
Pro-claims a King royal line;
For David's son in David's town,
Is born the heir of David's crown.
When from the East the wise men came,
Led by the Star of Bethlehem,
From the East wise men came,
Led by the Star.
The incense-clouds with fragrance rare,
The presence of a God declare;
Our gold upon Thine altar lies; O
ur pray'rs to Thee as incense rise.
Lo! kings in adoration fall,
For Mary's Son is Lord, of all.
Accept as myrrh our tears and sighs,
O King, O God, O Sacrifice.
When from the East the wise men came,
Led by the Star of Bethlehem,
The gifts they brought to Jesus were
Of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
When from the East the wise men came,
Led by the Star of Bethlehem,
From the East wise men came,
Led by the Star.
