Yet have I brought a gift the Child May not despise, however small; For here I lay my heart to day, And it is full of love to all. Take Thou the poor but loyal thing, My only tribute, Christ, my King! YET I HAVE BROUGHT A GIFT THE CHILD MAY NOT DESPISE HOWEVER SMALL FOR HERE I LAY MY HEART TO DAY AND IT IS FULL OF LOVE TO ALL TAKE THOU THE POOR BUT LOYAL THING MY ONLY TRIBUTE CHRIST MY KING
e herbs they brought, And many a beauteous golden thing; They brought their gifts to Bethlehem town, And in that manger set them down. Then spake the first king, and he said: "O Child, most heavenly, bright, and fair! I bring this crown to Bethlehem town For Thee, and only Thee, to wear; So give a heavenly crown to me When I shall come at last to Thee!" The second, then. "I bring Thee here This royal robe, O Child!" he cried; "Of silk 'tis spun, and such an one There is not in the world beside; So in the day of doom requite Me with a heavenly robe of white!" The third king gave his gift, and quoth: "Spikenard and myrrh to Thee I bring, And with these twain would I most fain Anoint the body of my King; So may their incense sometime rise To plead for me in yonder skies!" Thus spake the three kings of Cologne, That gave their gifts, and went their way; And now kneel I in prayer hard by The cradle of the Child to-day; Nor crown, nor robe, nor spice I bring As offering unto Christ, my King.
