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.
