Lyrics
We three kings of Orient are ?Bearing gifts we travel 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 on high.
Chorus)
?Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume ?Breaths a life of gathering gloom. ?Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying, ?Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
(Chorus)
?Glorious now behold Him arise, ?King and God and Sacrifice. ?Alleluia, Alleluia ?Sounds through the earth and skies.
(Chorus)
