The kings they came from out the south
All dressed in ermine fine
They bore Him gold and chrysoprase
And gifts of precious wine

The shepherds came from out the north
Their coats were brown and old
They brought Him little new-born lambs
They had not any gold

The wise men came from out the east
And they were wrapped in white
The star that led them all the way
Did glorify the night

The angels came from heaven high
And they were clad with wings
And lo, they brought a joyful song
The host of heaven sings

The kings they knocked upon the door
The wise men entered in
The shepherds followed after them
To hear the song begin

The angels sang through all the night
Until the rising sun
But little Jesus fell asleep
Before the song was done
