Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- O'er the hill and o'er the vale
- Come three kings together,
- Caring nought for snow and hail,
- Cold, and wind, and weather;
- Now on Persia's sandy plains,
- Now where Tigris swells with rains,
- They their camels tether;
- Now through Syrian lands they go,
- Now through Moab, faint and slow,
- Now through Edom's heather.
- 2.
- O'er the hill and o'er the vale,
- Each king bears a present:
- Wise men go a Child to hail,
- Monarchs seek a peasant;
- And a star in front proceeds,
- Over rocks and rivers leads,
- Shines with beams incessant.
- Therefore onward, onward still!
- Ford the stream and climb the hills:
- Love makes all things pleasant.
- 3.
- He is God ye go to meet;
- Therefore incense proffer.
- He is King ye go to greet:
- Gold is in your coffer.
- Also Man He comes to share
- Every woe that man can bear.
- Tempter, Railer, Scoffer;
- Therefore now against the day,
- In the grave where Him they lay,
- Myrrh ye also offer.
