Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFDFG HIJII KBLBM NOPOBB IQOQBB| From out Cologne there came three kings | A |
| To worship Jesus Christ their King | B |
| To Him they sought fine herbs they brought | C |
| And many a beauteous golden thing | B |
| They brought their gifts to Bethlehem town | D |
| And in that manger set them down | D |
| - | |
| Then spake the first king and he said | E |
| 'O Child most heavenly bright and fair | F |
| I bring this crown to Bethlehem town | D |
| For Thee and only Thee to wear | F |
| So give a heavenly crown to me | G |
| When I shall come at last to Thee ' | - |
| - | |
| The second then 'I bring Thee here | H |
| This royal robe O Child ' he cried | I |
| 'Of silk 'tis spun and such an one | J |
| There is not in the world beside | I |
| So in the day of doom requite | I |
| Me with a heavenly robe of white ' | - |
| - | |
| The third king gave his gift and quoth | K |
| 'Spikenard and myrrh to Thee I bring | B |
| And with these twain would I most fain | L |
| Anoint the body of my King | B |
| So may their incense sometime rise | M |
| To plead for me in yonder skies ' | - |
| - | |
| Thus spake the three kings of Cologne | N |
| That gave their gifts and went their way | O |
| And now kneel I in prayer hard by | P |
| The cradle of the Child to day | O |
| Nor crown nor robe nor spice I bring | B |
| As offering unto Christ my King | B |
| - | |
| Yet have I brought a gift the Child | I |
| May not despise however small | Q |
| For here I lay my heart to day | O |
| And it is full of love to all | Q |
| Take Thou the poor but loyal thing | B |
| My only tribute Christ my King | B |
