Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the babe, the son of Mary. 3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh; come, peasant, king, to own him. The King of kings salvation brings; let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise the song on high; the virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary.
