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: it's bitter perfume |
|
Breaths a life of gathering gloom. |
|
Sorrowing, 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! |
|
Sounds through the earth and skies. |
|
O star of wonder, star of night, |
|
Star with royal beauty bright, |
|
Westward leading, still proceeding, |
|
Guide us to thy perfect Light |
