COLOGNE PSALM
Who were the Magi with their gifts?
Why did they see the Star?
Were they Three Kings – or Many Men?
Was their home close – or far?
From which great nations brought they gold –
And frankincense, and myrrh?
From which lands did they emigrate?
From Persia, Nod, or Shir?
How did they find the Savior’s house –
Avoiding Herod’s snare
With diplomatic sapience?
What prompted them to care?
Who taught them how to kneel before
The presence of a boy?
Who gave them wisdom’s prescience
That bribes could not destroy?
When we give presents in His name
Do we remember Them?
As we bow down to offer Him
A contrite heart – our gem?
