- 1.
- We three kings of Orient are;
- Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
- Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
- Following yonder star.
- Refrain:
- O star of wonder, star of light,
- 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, voices raising,
- Worshipping God on high.
- Refrain
- 4.
- Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
- Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
- Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
- Sealed in the stone cold tomb.
- Refrain
- 5.
- Glorious now behold Him arise;
- King and God and sacrifice;
- Alleluia, Alleluia,
- Sounds through the earth and skies.
- Refrain
