We Three Kings of Orient Are

John H. Hopkins







We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain, moor and mountain

Following yonder star

Oh... Star of wonder, star of night

Star of 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

Oh... Star of wonder, star of night

Star of 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

Oh... Star of wonder, star of night

Star of 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

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

Oh... Star of wonder, star of night

Star of 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

Oh... Star of wonder, star of night

Star of royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect Light
