Melchior:
For Thee I bring sweet frankincense.
(Swings censor.)
Balthazar:
And I bring myrrh to offer Thee!
Gaspar:
The greatest gift is yet ungiven—
Oh, heavenly King, heart’s love we bring.
Melchior:
Not gifts of gold nor priceless gems
Is worth the love we offer Thee.
Balthazar:
And lowly folk who have no gold
Nor rare and precious thing to give,
May bring the dearest gift of all—
A loving heart.
Golden carol (sung by the Three Kings):
We saw a light shine out afar,
On Christmas in the morning,
And straight we knew Christ’s Star it was,
Bright beaming in the morning.
Then did we fall on bended knee,
On Christmas in the morning,
And praised the Lord who’d let us see
His glory at its dawning.
(Tableau, Kings and Shepherds.)
Angel carol:
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made Heaven and Earth of naught,
And with His blood mankind hath bought;
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel!
Recessional carol by children:
God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay;
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day,
To save us all from Satan’s power
When we had gone astray.
