Melchior Lyrics

chorus
I have come with all my riches,
Jewels, silver, gold.
All the world delights to offer,
Precious gifts unfold.
From Petra he has come,
Melchior the merchant man
Perfumes from the Orient,
Fine silken raiment
Spices and precious golden gifts.
Bringing bounty of the herdsman
Milk and meat so rare
Pomegranates from the garden
Exotic fruits his fare.

Trade routes South and East,
Caravans a moving feast,
Travellers tales and legends,
Farther from his homeland
For a truth that he will never lose.
Those more able have directed him,
Those more wise advised,
Those more pure, they have blessed him
Bid him now arise
