1 Welcome your king Alleluia!
lands of the sunrise;
travellers, sing, 'Alleluia!',
lift up your tired eyes:
   Come and praise him, joyful raise him
   lowly carols of love;
   bow before him and adore him
   Lord from above.

2 Follow his star Alleluia!
Christ who enthralls you;
seek him from far. Alleluia,
Bethlehem calls you!
   Come and praise him ...

3 Incense and gold Alleluia!
these you may borrow;
priest-king foretold Alleluia!
myrrh for his sorrow.
   Come and praise him ...
