At break of day as I went on my way

I met three kings and they were Eastern sages

At break of day as I went on my way

I met three kings and all their grand array

 

And first of all came the guards so tall

The men at arms and their thirty little pages

And first of all came the guards so tall

The men at arms and all their pages small

 

The kings did pay their homage on that day

To God’s own son new born a child on Earth

The kings did pay their homage on that day

To Jesus Christ who in a manger lay

 

And we are told that they brought him gold

They brought him Myrrh and Frankincense of worth

And we are told that they brought him gold

And Frankincense on Christmas Day of old
