Kings, their threefold offerings bringing, Star-led to the King draw nigh, By that sign assured for ever Of the Day-spring from on high; Tribute-gold the King betokens, Frankincense the Diety, Myrrh, the death for man's redemption: So they learned of prophecy. 2. Still with love's sweet-smelling savours Eagerly the saints repair, Whither Christ's new-purchased pardon Sheds new fragrance in the air: Erst to sinfulness inclining Now the bride her dower receives, Bride of yester morn, and beautied With a crown of golden leaves. 3. Her the true and heavenly Bridegroom For Himself in spirit chose; May that Bridegroom guard and rescue Us from perils and from woes; Purge us clean of sinful folly, That we may accepted be, And the Father's house inherit, Rescued from the enemy.
