Gold, as for a great king,
Incense, as for a true God,
Myrrh for his sepulchre.

Ab oriente venerunt magi in Bethlehem

Out of the east came the wise men,
unto Bethlehem to worship the Lord;
and opening their treasury
they offered precious gifts:
Gold, as for a great king,
Incense, as for a true God,
Myrrh for his sepulchre.
