1. O'er the hill and o'er the vale,
Come three Kings together,
Caring not for snow or hail,
Cold and wind and weather;
Now on Persia's sandy plains,
Now where Tigris swells with rains,
They their camels tether,
Now thro' Syrian lands they go
Now thro' Moab, faint and slow,
Now thro' Edom's heather,
Now thro' Edom's heather.

2. O'er the hill and o'er the vale
Each king bears a present
Wise men go a Child to hail,
Monarchs seek a peasant;
And a star in front proceeds,
Over rock and rivers leads,
Shines with beams incessant;
Therefore onward, onward still,
Ford the stream and climb the hill;
Love makes all things pleasant,
Love makes all things pleasant.

3. He is God ye go to meet;
Therefore incense proffer;
He is King ye go to greet;
God is in your coffer.
Also man, He comes to share
Every woe that man can bear.
Tempter, railer, scoffer;
Therefore now against the day,
In the grave where Him they lay,
Myrrh ye also offer,
Myrrh ye also offer.
