02 - March Of Three Kings

1. This highway beheld at break of day girls Three Eastern kings go by upon their journey. This highway beheld at break of day Three Eastern kings go by in rich array. With courage high all their guards passed by, Their knights at arms with the squires and the pages. With courage high all their guards passed by, With guided armour shining like the sky. Interlude 2. Gaspard old had brought a gift of gold. boys He said, “My Lord, Thou art the King of Glory.” Gaspard old gave Christ his gift of gold, And that this Child would conquer death, he told. Then incense sweet at the Christ Child’s feet King Melchior placed, Saying, “Thou art God of armies. Although he lies here in humble guise, This little Child is God of earth and skies.” Interlude 3. “You will die; for You, my Lord I cry,” choir “Wept Balthazar, his gifts of myrrh presenting, “You will die, and in a tomb will lie, For on a cross you will be lifted high.” All we today to the Child must pray, Who came to earth with His gifts of peace and blessing, To Him we pray, and our homage pay And with the kings we march along the way.
