Excerpt from The Three Kings: And Other Verses for Children Christmas A little town set peacefully Upon a verdant hill, Above, a single radiant star Illumes the midnight still. Below, in Bethlehem's narrow street, There stands a cattle-shed, Within, a mother fondly guards A child in manger-bed. Some uncouth shepherds silent kneel The humble couch before, And with intent and loving gaze The little Child adore. Across the sandy desert wide The star-led Wise Men haste: Rich gifts they bring to lay before The Babe thus lowly placed. Strange natal place for Son of God: Strange courtiers for a King, Yet, such they are, for this is He Who comes Gods peace to bring. O lowly Child! O loving God! O mighty King, in one! We bow in meek humility Before Thy rude-built throne. Not costly myrrh as offering, Nor gold, nor incense bring, But humble, contrite, willing hearts We lay before our King. Accept them, Lord, our strength renew. That we may helpers be Of Thine, to bring about Thy reign Of peace and unity.
