WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE
(Kings)
1. We three kinds of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder Star.
Oh, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.
(Melchoir)
2. Born a Babe on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold we bring to crown Him again;
King forever, ceasing new never,
Over us all the reign,
Oh, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.
(Gaspar)
3. Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity gain nigh,
Pray'r and praising all men raising,
Worship God on high.
Oh, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.
(Balthasar)
4. Myyrh is mine,
It's bitter perfume breathes a life of gath'ring gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
Oh, star of wonder, star of might,
star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leadin, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.
(All)
5. Glorious now behold Him rise,
King and Son and Sacrifice;
Heav'n sings "Hallelujah!"
"Hallelujah!" Earth replies.
Oh, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.
