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 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. [Refrain]

3 Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship him, 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!
Sound thro' the earth and skies. [Refrain]
