(Verse 1 taken from "The Golden Carol")

Gloria! Gloria in excelsis Deo. Amen.

We saw a light shine out afar,
On Christmas in the morning,
And straight we knew it was Christ's Star,
Bright beaming in the morning.
Then did we fall on bended knee,
On Christmas in the morning,
And prais'd the Lord, Who'd let us see
His glory at its dawning.

We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring, to crown Him again,
King forever ceasing never
Over us all to reign.

Star of wonder, Star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Pray'r and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God most high.

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
It breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorr'wing sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in a stone-cold tomb.

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice,
Alleluia, Sing Hosana!
Earth to the heavens replies.

Oh Star of wonder, Star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light!
