The shepherd party rain To own Him God and man, True Shepherd of his sheep. Babe there they worship Him That rides the Cherubim: Where ox and ass be driven, Incarnate there they find The Maker of mankind: To Him be glory given! 2. With strange and wondrous ways The Magi saw the rays Of one new-lighted Star. Star heretofore so sheen Their eyes had never seen: It shone from heav'n afar. And signified the birth Of Christ a King on earth" And rightly so they reckon'd; To save mankind forlorn This royal Babe was born, Whose Star to Bethlem beckon'd. 3. 'The new-born Bairn, where may He be, King Herod, say, Whose comet was a-glow: For hither come are we, To bow to Him the knee.' This would the wise men know. But Herod, troubled sore, And Salem over-more, Was minded in his fury To fight with God, and kill, With semblance of good-will, The Infant King of Jewry. 4. Then Herod straight would know What time the star gan show That led the Princes three To Bethlehem, that there With giftes , rich and rare, The babe might honour'd be. But, by our Lord's command, Safe in their native land By other road they find them. Thus did the Kings deride False Herod at that tide, And left him far behind.
