| Lyrics: | 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
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.
O star of wonder, star of
night,
Star with 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 with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still
proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
/>
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorr'wing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the
stone-cold tomb.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with 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 with royal
beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light. |
