1 From the east the magi came,
The Redeemer to behold,
And they worshipped Him, and gave
Gifts of incense and of gold.
Refrain:
As the magi there did bow,
I would fain have been with them;
But I will adore Thee now,
Blessed Babe of Bethlehem.
2 Yes, by faith, I see the star,
Moving westward to the skies,
And I follow, till I see
Where the blessed Infant lies. [Refrain]
3 Better gift than gold or myrrh,
I to Him may now impart;
Dear Redeemer, take, I pray,
Take the incense of my heart. [Refrain]
