¶Lyrics / Text

::::''1.'' :Here is the little door, :lift up the latch, oh lift! :We need not wander more, :but enter with our gift; :Our gift of finest gold. :Gold that was never bought or sold; :Myrrh to be strewn about his bed; :Incense in clouds about His head; :All for the child that stirs not in His sleep, :But holy slumber hold with ass and sheep. ::::''2.'' :Bend low about His bed, :For each He has a gift; :See how His eyes awake, :Lift up your hands, O lift! :For gold, He gives a keen-edged sword. :(Defend with it thy little Lord!) :For incense, smoke of battle red, :Myrrh for the honored happy dead; :Gifts for His children, terrible and sweet; :Touched by such tiny hands, :and Oh such tiny feet.
