Earth has many noble cities
Bethlehem, thou supersede them
Out of thee our Lord from God
Come and to rule Israel
2.
The glory of star supersede
The glory of morning sun
The star that reveal’d Jesus both
Him that was born in the flesh
3.
Eastern sages at His cradle
Made oblations rich and care
See them give in deep devotion
Gold and frankincense and myrth
4.
Sacred gifts of mystic meaning
Incense doth their God disclose
Gold the king of kings proclaimeth
Myrth his sepulcher foreshadows
5.
Jesus whom the gentiles worshipped
At Thy glad epiphany
Unto Thee, with God the Father
And the spirit glory be
Amen
