Over trackless regions
From the morning land
Bearing costly treasures
Came a seeking band—
Wise men with devotion
From the morning land.
Wheresoe’er the star led
In the ebon sky
Thither pressed those wise men
With uplifted eye
Following the star light
In the ebon sky.
They would find the young king
Whom the star foretold;
They would render homage
And their gifts unfold
Bowing low before Him
Whom the star foretold.
Jesu
Son of David
God’s Incarnate Word
Endless
unbegotten
By the wise adored—
We would bow before Thee
God’s Incarnate Word.
Not without an offering
Would we seek our king;
But with true devotion
What is noblest
bring—
With a gift so precious
Would we seek our king.
King eternal
Son of God
divine
Man
yet still remaining
Of the Godhead Trine—
See
our hearts we give Thee
