O'er the hill and o'er the vale



Аноним (2) - O'er the hill and o'er the vale - текст песни (слова)

1. 
 
 
 
O'er the hill and o'er the vale 
Come three kings together, 
Caring nought for snow and hail, 
Cold, and wind, and weather; 
Now on Persia's sandy plains, 
Now where Tigris swells with rains, 
They their camels tether; 
Now through Syrian lands they go, 
Now through Moab, faint and slow, 
Now through 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 rocks and rivers leads, 
Shines with beams incessant. 
Therefore onward, onward still! 
Ford the stream and climb the hills: 
Love makes all things pleasant. 
3. 
 
 
 
He is God ye go to meet; 
Therefore incense proffer. 
He is King ye go to greet: 
Gold 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.
