THE VISIT OF THE THREE KINGS
The holy Family living in the stable
Received a ceremonial visit from three kings
Who brought them from their homes gifts they were able
To pack on camels' backs with other things
A blazing star had led them from the East
Their presents were of incense, myrrh and gold
Incense was for deity, myrrh for demise
the gold for His kingship of old
King Herod had asked them to show him the place
Where Jesus the King might be seen
But, warned by an angel, they left without trace
No single sign left where they'd been
King Herod in his rage lost every shred of sense
And Rachel's wails resounded as he killed the Innocents
