Out of the Orient Crystal Skies

Out of the orient, crystal skies A blazing star did shine Showing the place where poorly lies A blessed Babe divine Born of a maid of royal blood Who Mary hight by name A sacred rose which once did bud By grace of heavenly flame This shining star three kings did guide Even from the furthest East To Bethlehem where it betide This blessed Babe did rest Laid in a silly manger poor Betwixt an ox and ass Whom these three kings did all adore As God's high pleasure was And for the joy of His great birth A thousand angels sing "Glory and peace unto the earth Where born is this new King!" The shepherds dwelling there about When they this news did know Came singing all even in a rout "Falantidingdido, falantidingdido, falantidingdido!" --- Out of the Orient Crystal Skies - Fretwork and Helen Charlston
