The Kings Of Bethlehem

by Attila József

Jesus, Jesus, God greet you, God greet you!

Three kings are we well and true, Flaming star stood round our place, So we came on foot in haste.

Little lamb said: never fear,

Jesus Christ is dwelling here.

I am Melchior, you see.

God be gracious unto me!

*

Son of God, good afternoon, afternoon! No, we are not priests of doom,

But we heard that you were born,

You the king of poor, forlorn.

So we thought we would look in, Heaven's child, salvation's kin.

My name, Casper, represents A king in some earthly sense.

*

Lord Saviour, God bless you, God bless you!

Far and warm land crossed we through. All our bread and cheese is gone,

All our shining boots are worn,

But we brought you gold a lot, Incense in an iron pot.

I am Balthazar, this means The king of the Saracens.

%

Blushes, blushes Mary red, Mary red, Happy mother bends her head.

Through the tears which fill her eyes Scarcely sees her Jesus Christ.

All around the shepherds sing,

Time to feed the little thing.

Dearest Three Kings, kind and true, Now good night, good night to you!

Translated from Hungarian: Dr. Egon G. Kunz

can love them and forgive...The conflicting images of the first Christmas are still with us today.

So may the wonder, the miracle of this time never be overshadowed by the world's pressing need. By all means, be filled with music and song and laughter and fellowship throughout this holy season.. .but save some room for prayer, reflection on the contrasts that can enrich the experience of Christmas and a little solemnity in your Christmas witness.

MAGYAR SYNOD'S MOTTO
