TRIPLUM
(It is said that) wisdom is born
unto each singular person
to offer mystic
blessings
in equal parts:
Caspar brought myrrh,
Melchior gave frankincense,
Balthasar chose gold
as the third kingly gift.
Joyously, in His grace,
the three magi
adored the holy child,
thanks to Virgin Mary.
DUPLUM
Oh, what a beautiful reason
the shepherds saw,
whose signs in heaven
appeared,
thanks to Virgin Mary.
TENOR
The magi, having seen the star,
said, each in turn:
"This is the sign of a great king!"
"Let us go and seek him out!"
"And offer gifts to him!"
