Because it is the road of kings,

Who bring their glory from the sea.

They bring their glory to our feast,

As to the New Jerusalem;

They are the Wise Kings of the East,

Who journeyed once to Bethlehem;

And through our streets they’ll ride in state,

From Brooks to Priory, up and down,

And praise the Saints who guard our Gate—

The holy Gate of Lewes Town.
