The Three Kings of Cologne

Author: Eugene Field, 1850-1895 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6701 First Line: From out Cologne there came three kings Lyrics: 1. From out Cologne there came three kings To worship Jesus Christ, their King. To Him they sought, fine herbs they brought, And many a beauteous golden thing; They brought their gifts to Bethlehem town, And in that manger set them down. 2. 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! 3. 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! 4. 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! 5. 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 today; Nor crown, nor robe, nor spice I bring As offering unto Christ, my King. 6. Yet have I brought a gift the Child May not despise, however small; For here I lay my heart today, And it is full of love to all. Take Thou the poor but loyal thing, My only tribute, Christ, my King!
