1 We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar;
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
3 Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high. [Refrain]
4 Myrrh is mine: its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom.
Sor-r’wing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]
5 Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice;
Al-le-lu-ia, alleluia!
Earth to heav’n replies. [Refrain]
