Lyrics[]

We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain moor and mountain

Following yonder star

[Chorus]

O star of wonder star of night

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

[Chorus]

Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a deity nigh

Prayer and praising all men raising

Worship Him God most high

[Chorus]

Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume

Breathes of life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying

Sealed in the stone cold tomb

[Chorus]

Glorious now befold Him arise

King and God and sacrifice

Alleluia Alleluia

Earth and Heaven replies

[Chorus]
