  1. Earth has many a noble city;
    Bethlehem, thou dost all excel:
    Out of thee the Lord from heaven
    Came to rule his Israel.

  2. Fairer than the sun at morning
    Was the star that told his birth,
    To the world its God announcing
    Seen in fleshly form on earth.

  3. Eastern sages at his cradle
    Make oblations rich and rare;
    See them give, in deep devotion,
    Gold and frankincense and myrrh.

  4. Jesus, whom the Gentiles worshiped
    At thy glad epiphany,
    Unto thee, with God the Father
    And the Spirit, glory be. Amen.
