The Christ Child's Lullaby

My love, my pride, my treasure, O
My wonder new and pleasure, O
My sun, my beauty, ever You
O who am I to bear You here?

The cause of talk and tale am I
The cause of greatest fame am I
The cause of proudest care on high
To have for mine the King of kings

And though You are the King of all
They sent You to a manger stall
When at Your feet they all should fall
And glorify my child, the King

There shone a star above three kings
To guide them to the King of kings
They held You in their humble arms
And knelt before You until dawn

They gave You myrrh, they gave You gold
Frankincense and gifts untold
They traveled far these gifts to bring
And knelt before their newborn King

My love, my pride, my treasure, O
My wonder new and pleasure, O
My sun, my beauty, ever You
O who am I to bear You here?
