Kings of Bethlehem
-----
Little Jesus, God bless Thee, God bless Thee,
Royal kings we are all three./

Above us shone a blazing star,
on foot weve come from very far.
A little lamb so surely said
that Jesus Christ lay here in bed./

My name is King Melchior.
Help me, help me, my dear Lord./////

Good day to you, Son of God, Son of God,
Silly old priests we are not./
News of your birth has travelled far,
King of the poor weve heard you are.
Hence our little visitation,
heavens kingdoms our salvation./
My names Jasper and I think
Im a kind of worldly king.////

Greetings to you, Saviour, Saviour,
Our land is much sunnier./
All our sausage we have eaten,
our fine boots look weatherbeaten,
six handfuls of gold we have got,
also incense in a big pot./
King Balthazar, yes, thats me:
The Saracen of the three.////

Flushes-blushes sweet Mary, sweet Mary,
little mother shes happy./
Casting down her eyes she peers
at her Jesus through her tears;
hear the shepherds music-playing,
feeding time bears no delaying./
Kindly three kings make your bow,
I must bid you farewell now.
