English text

White earth some-time in the night
has laid her low, has laid her light
where Christ's birth is.

I know the way the wise have gone,
the path is marked they went upon
where white earth is.

White earth sometime in the night
has laid her low has laid her light
where Christ's birth is.

I know the way the wise have gone,
the path is marked they went upon
where white earth is.

My God, though I've not gold nor gem
to bring thee, child of Bethlehem,
the right worth is of all the things that are in thy sight,
a heart made pure, a heart made white
as white earth is.
