We Three Kings

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 of 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.

O star of wonder, star of night,

Star of royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to thy perfect light.

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, star of night,

Star of royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to thy perfect light.

Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume

Breaths a life of gathering gloom.

Sorrow, sighing, bleeding, dying,

Sealed in a stone-cold tomb.

O star of wonder, star of night,

Star of royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to thy perfect light.

Glorious now behold Him arise,

King and God and Sacrifice.

Alleluia, alleluia!

Earth to heav'n replies.

O star of wonder, star of night,

Star of royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night,

Star of royal beauty bright,

Westward leading,still proceeding,

Following yonder star!
