"We Three Kings"




"We Three Kings"



We three kings of orient are,
bearing gifts, we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.

Chorus:
Oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us with thy perfect light.

(Melchior)
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again
King for ever, ceasing never,
over us all to reign.

(Casper)
Frankincense to offer have I,
incense owns a Deity nigh
Pray'r and praising, all men raising,
Worship him, God most high, oh

(Balthazar)
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone cold tomb.

All Glorius now behold him arise,
king and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia,
Heaven to earth replies.
