441. De tierra lehana venimos (From a Far-off Land)

1 De tierra lejana venimos a verte,
nos sirve de guía la estrella de Oriente.

Estribillo:
Oh brillante estrella que anuncias la aurora
no nos falte nunca tu luz bienhechora.
Gloria en las alturas al Hijo de Dios,
Gloria en las alturas y en la tierra amore.

2 Al recién nacido que es Rey de los reyes,
oro le regalo para ornar sus sienes. [Estribillo]

3 Como es Dios el Niño le regalo incienso,
perfume con alma que sube hasta el cielo. [Estribillo]

4 Al Niño del cielo que bajó a la tierra,
le regalo mirra que inspira tristeza. [Estribillo]
