 How they opened all their treasures Kneeling to that infant King; Gave the gold and fragrant incense Gave the myrrh in offering.”

 Upon her knees before the Holy Child The mother falls adoring. This is He Whom prophets have foretold, the Undefiled, Whose coming all the world has longed to see. A heavenly messenger proclaims his birth, Angelic voices loud hosannas sing: She humbly prays and bows herself to earth, The first to worship him as Christ the king.

 When I see the mother holding In her arms the heavenly boy, Thousand blissful thoughts unfolding Fill my heart with sweetest joy.

 Each round other fondly twining Pour the shafts of mutual love, Thick as flowers in meadows shining Countless as the stars above.”
