As they offered girts most rare
At Thy cradle rude and bare;
So may we with holy Joy,
Pure, and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And witn His blood mankind hath bought.
