To the Lord forever glorious, Saints on earth with Saints victorious Swell the shout of holy Joy: Lest the soul sink down in slumbers Let the lips, in tuneful numbers, Hail the Bliss without alloy. 2. See the Branch a new Bud bearing; See the Star new Day declaring; Monarchs to the manger run; Wand'rers they, yet never turning Whence the Star, before them burning, Guides them to the New-Born Sun. 3. Three the Kings, threefold their Offering; He, Who takes what they are proffering, God in Man is One to see; By the mystic adoration Is revealed to all creation Thus the Triune Deity. 4. Gold, Myrrh, Incense are their Treasure; But beyond what eye can measure Is the Truth therein that lies: Incense is for God from heaven; To the King the Gold is given; And the Myrrh to Him Who dies. 5. Sweet the Incense upward streaming; Bright the Golden Circlet gleaming On a King's majestic Brow; Shews the Myrrh, by time unblighted, That the Word to Flesh united Never shall corruption know. 6. From this vale, wherein we wander, Lead us, Lord, O lead us yonder Where the Kings are gone before: Where, by Thine abounding merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit We may praise for evermore. Amen.
