137   We Three Kings of Orient Are




[1]
We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain moor and mountain
Following yonder star.

[C]
Oh 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.

[C]
Oh star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light.

[3]
Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising all men raising
Worship Him God on high.

[C]
Oh star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light.

[4]
Myrrh is mine: its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom:
Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

[C]
Oh star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light.

[5]
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice;
Alleluia alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.

[C]
Oh star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light.
