We Three Kings Of Orient Are;
Bearing Gifts We Traverse Afar,
Field And Fountain, Moor And Mountain,
Following Yonder Star.
O Star Of Wonder, Star Of Light,
Star With Royal Beauty Bright,
Westward Leading, Still Proceeding,
Guide Us To Thy Perfect Light.
Born A King On Bethlehem’s Plain,
Gold I Bring To Crown Him Again,
King Forever, Ceasing Never,
Over Us All To Reign.
Frankincense To Offer Have I;
Incense Owns A Deity Nigh;
Prayer And Praising, Voices Raising,
Worshiping God On High.
Myrrh Is Mine; Its Bitter Perfume
Breathes A Life Of Gathering Gloom;
Sorrowing, Sighing, Bleeding, Dying,
Sealed In The Stone-Cold Tomb.
Glorious Now Behold Him Arise;
King And God And Sacrifice:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Sounds Through The Earth And Skies.
