Los magos que llegaron a Belén

Representative Text

English--
1 From a distant home the Savior we come seeking,
using as our guide the star so brightly beaming.

Refrain:
Lovely eastern star that tells us of God's morning,
heaven's wondrous light, O never cease thy shining!
Glory in the highest to the Son of Heaven,
and upon the earth be peace and love to all.

2 Glowing gold I bring the new-born babe so holy,
token of his power to reign above in glory. [Refrain]

3 Frankincense I bring the child of God's own choosing,
token of our prayers to heaven ever rising. [Refrain]

4 Bitter myrrh have I to give the infant Jesus,
token of the pain that he will bear to save us. [Refrain]

Spanish--
1 De tierra lejana venimos a verte,
nos sirve de guia 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. [Estribrillo]

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

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