¶Liedtext

Earth has many a noble city; Bethl’em, thou dost all excel: out of thee the Lord from heaven came to rule his Israel. 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. Eastern sages at his cradle make oblations rich and rare; see them give in deep devotion gold and frankincense and myrrh. Sacred gifts of mystic meaning: incense doth their God disclose, gold the King of kings proclaimeth, myrrh his sepulchre foreshows. Jesu, whom the Gentiles worshipped at thy glad Epiphany, unto thee with God the Father and the Spirit glory be.
