De tierra lejana Venimos a verte,
Nos sirve de guia La Estrella de Oriente.

O brillantestrella que anuncias la aurora
No nos falte nunca tu luz bienhechora.
yen la tierra amor.
Gloria en las alturas al Hijo de Dios,
Gloria en las alturas.
Al recien nacido que es Rey de los reyes,
Oro le regalo para ornar sus sienes.

Como es Dios el Nino le regalo incienso,
Perfume con alma que sube hasta el cielo.

Al Nino del cielo que bajo a la tierra,
Le regalo mirra que inspira tristerza.

English Translation: SONG OF THE WISE MEN
From a distant home, The Savior we come seeking,
Using as our guide the star, so brightly beaming.
Refrain:
Lovely Eastern Star, that tells us of God's morning,
Heaven's wondrous light,
O never cease Thy shining, peace and love to men.
Glory in the Highest to the Son of Heaven,
And upon the earth be
Glowing gold I bring to the new-born Babe so holy,
Token of His pow'r to reign above in glory.
Refrain
Frankincence I bring to the Child of God's own choosing,
Token of our pray'rs to Heaven ever rising.
Refrain
Bitter myrrh have I to give the infant Jesus,
Token of the pain the He will bear to save us.
