Lyrics: Anon

Rex Melchior, Rex Gaspar, Rex Balthasar,
rogamus vos per Regem regum,
quem vagientem in cunis videre meruistis,
ut compatiamini tribulationibus nostris.

O King Melchior, King Casper, King Balthasar,
we beseech you, by the King of kings,
whom you deserved to see even in his swaddling-clothes,
that you take pity on our troubles.
