LyicsCome from the east, with gifts, ye kings,
With gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,
Where'er the morning spreads her wings,
Let man to God his vows prefer.
Come from the west! the bond, the free;
His easy service make your choice;
Ye isles of the Pacific sea,
Like halcyon nests, in God rejoice.
Come from the south! through desert sands,
A highway for the Lord prepare!
Let Ethiopia stretch her hands,
And Libya pour her soul in prayer.
Come from the north! let Europe raise
In all her languages one song;
Give God the glory, power, and praise
That to his holy name belong.
