Quotes about myrrh (5 Quotes)

There is the gold, though there be no frankincense or myrrh and the gospel for the day always The Play will Run for a Year.

    The Holy Night We sate among the stalls at Bethlehem The dumb kine from their fodder turning them, Softened their horned faces To almost human gazes Toward the newly Born The simple shepherds from the star-lit brooks Brought visionary looks, As yet in their astonied hearing rung The strange sweet angel-tongue The magi of the East, in sandals worn, Knelt reverent, sweeping round, With long pale beards, their gifts upon the ground, The incense, myrrh, and gold These baby hands were impotent to hold So let all earthlies and celestials wait Upon thy royal state. Sleep, sleep, my kingly One.


    What Child Is This What Child is this, who, laid to rest On Mary's lap, is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping Refrain This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary. Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding Good Christians fear for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Refrain So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come peasant, King to own Him The King of Kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him Refrain.
