The kings they came from out the south, / All dressed in ermine fine, / They bore Him gold and chrysoprase, / And gifts of precious wine.
The shepherds came from out the north, / Their coats were brown and old, / They brought Him little new-born lambs -- / They had not any gold.
The wise-men came from out the east, / And they were wrapped in white; / The star that led them all the way / Did glorify the night.
The angels came from heaven high, / And they were clad with wings; / And lo, they brought a joyful song / The host of heaven sings.
The kings they knocked upon the door, / The wise-men entered in, / The shepherds followed after them / To hear the song begin.
And Mary held the little child / And sat upon the ground; / She looked up, she looked down, / She looked all around.
The angels sang thro' all the night / Until the rising sun, / But little Jesus fell asleep / Before the song was done.
