(Intro)
We three
kings of Orient are
Bearing
gifts we traverse afar.
Field
and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following
yonder star.
Chorus:
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.
(Chorus)
Frankincense
to offer have I.
Incense
owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer
and praising all men raising,
Worship
Him, God on high.
(Chorus)
Myrrh
is mine: Its bitter perfume
Breaths
a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing,
sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed
in the stone-cold tomb.
(Chorus)
Glorious
now behold Him arise,
King
and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia,
alleluia!
Sounds
through the earth and skies.
(Chorus)
To
Player
