| | |
| '''Solo'''
| |
| | |
| Three Kings from Persian lands afar
| |
| to Jordan follow the pointing star:
| |
| and this the quest of the travellers three,
| |
| where the new-born King of the Jews may be.
| |
| Full royal gifts they bear for the King;
| |
| Gold, incense, myrrh are their offering.
| |
| | |
| The star shines out with a steadfast ray;
| |
| the kings to Bethlehem make their way,
| |
| and there in worship they bend the knee,
| |
| as Mary’s child in her lap they see;
| |
| their royal gifts they show to the King;
| |
| gold, incense, myrrh are their offering.
| |
| | |
| Thou child of man, lo, to Bethlehem
| |
| the Kings are travelling, travel with them!
| |
| The star of mercy, the star of grace,
| |
| shall lead thy heart to its resting place.
| |
| Gold, incense, myrrh thou canst not bring;
| |
| offer thy heart to the infant King.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Chorale'''
| |
| | |
| How brightly shines the morning star!
| |
| With grace and truth from heaven afar
| |
| our Jesse tree now bloweth.
| |
| Of Jacob’s stem and David’s line,
| |
| for thee, my Bridegroom, King divine,
| |
| my soul with love o’erfloweth.
| |
| Thy word, Jesu, inly feeds us,
| |
| rightly leads us, life bestowing.
| |
| Praise, O praise such love o’erflowing.}}
