WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE

1. 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 night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

2. Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,


Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
O star of wonder…

3. Frankincense to offer have I,


Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.
O star of wonder…

4. Myrrh is mine: its bitter perfume


Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
O star of wonder…

5. Glorious now behold Him arise,


King and God and Sacrifice.
Heav’n sings Alleluia!
Alleluia, the earth replies.
O star of wonder…
