Such strange gifts to offer, Frankincense, myrrh and gold; Yet speaking of Emmanuel Whose coming was foretold. These precious gifts of rarity Were consciously contrived... Prophetically befitting And heavenly derived. Presented to a Jewish babe Denoting things at hand, The Dayspring and Messiah, The Savior of fallen man. Gold represents His Kingship And reign upon the Throne, As King of Kings and Lord of Lords That mighty crushing Stone. Frankincense, His Priesthood Unchangeable indeed... He, the one time offering, Ever living to intercede. Myrrh, the Man of Sorrows Signifying His death; The ointment of embalming For the Balm of Gilead. These gifts were confirmation Conveying prophetic scheme... Proclaiming to a hopeless world He's here, who will redeem! |
