The Virgin
lies
at
Bethlehem .
(Bring
gold
and
frankincense
and myrrh !)
The
root of
David
shoots
a
stem .
(O Holy
Spirit , shadow
Her !)
She
lies
alone
amid
the kine.
(Bring
gold
and frankincense
and myrrh !)
The straw
is
fragrant as
with
wine .
(O
Holy
Spirit , shadow
Her !)
There are
three
kings
upon
the
road .
(Bring
gold
and frankincense
and
myrrh !)
She
hath
thrice
blessed
the Name
of God .
(O Holy
Spirit, shadow
Her !)
There
stands
her
star
above
the sky,
(Bring
gold
and frankincense
and
myrrh !)
She
hath
thrice blessed
the
Trinity .
(O Holy Spirit, shadow
Her !)
Her joyful ardour hath
sufficed .
(Bring
gold
and
frankincense
and
myrrh !)
She
is
delivered
of
the Christ .
(The
angels
come to worship Her !)
AMEN .
