Bring your gifts of gold,
Gifts they brought of wealth un­told,
Gifts they brought of wealth un­told,
Of myrrh, which sweet­ly scents the air,
Prostrate they with vows un­fold
I have no glit­ter­ing jew­els,
Eastern seers rich gifts had wrought Him,
And, free­ly as their hearts ad­ored,
And make me Thine alone.
Their cost­li­est gifts they of­fer thence
The gifts they brought to Je­sus were
To wor­ship there that King so free;
See them give, in deep de­vo­tion,
Whoso shares an­oth­er’s woe,
See them give, in deep de­vo­tion,
In Beth­le­hem.
Brought gifts of gold,
The gold­en trib­ute owns Him king,
All, all, Lord Christ, for Thee;
Soon to His cra­dle so low­ly,

frank­in­cense

Bring your gifts of gold,
And they knelt their vows to pay,
And they knelt their vows to pay,
Their king­ly heads they meek­ly bow
Frankincense and gold they bring,
Gifts to the Sav­ior I’m bring­ing,
Guided by a star they sought Him,
They knew the pro­mised in­fant King,
Nor frag­rant myrrh to bring;
They sought the Light, in dark­ness drear,
Bright gold of Oph­ir, pass­ing fine,
A so­lis or­tus car­di­ne.
Sacred gifts of mys­tic mean­ing,
With the men of long ago.
Sacred gifts of mys­tic mean­ing:
To hail the God, the Mor­tal, and the King
But far ab­ove
And last, pro­phet­ic sign, with myrrh,
Where is the King? O where? O where?
Jesus, Thou star of the morn­ing,
