Tune: Dix
(\'As with gladness men of old\')
*******
Lord, you did choose to reveal
Your Son for our own good weal (well-being)
Though one time to Jews was shown
He was not to Gentiles known
But now world-wide salvation
To all folk of each nation
Gold and frankincense and myrrh
Wise men did on Him confer
Seeing Him Him, though a child
Prophecies had been complied
Spoke of Him as Lord and King
Let all to Him worship bring
Come, so visit His house, for
Wise men did come and adore
Laid their treasures at His feet
Gave Him honour it was meet (apt, suitable)
So to do, for Christ-child He
Saviour of the world would be
Light of the world shining bright
Dispel all of sin and night
Lead us to walk in your way
On to the eternal day
For we know there no darkness
In you, penitents you bless
