1. 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.
2. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring, to crown Him again;
King, forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
3. Frank-in-cense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.
4. Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
5. Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Peals through the earth and skies.
