We Three Kings of Orient Are
Author: John H. Hopkins Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:13 Refrain First Line: O star of wonder, star of night Lyrics: 1 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!
2 Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign. (Chorus)
3 Frankincense to offer have I:
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, we are raising,
Worship Him, God on high. (Chorus)
4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. (Chorus)
5 Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Peals through the earth and skies. (Chorus)

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 281 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:33 First Line: The day thou gavest, Lord is ended Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended;
the darkness falls at thy behest.
To thee our morning hymns ascended;
thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank thee that thy church unsleeping,
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world a watch is keeping
and rests not now by day or night.
3 As o’er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the song of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
thy children ‘neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never,
like earth's proud empires, pass away;
thy kingdom stands, and grows forever
until there dawns thy glorious day.

The People That in Darkness Sat
Author: John Morison (1750-1798) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 Lyrics: 1 The people that in darkness sat
a glorious light have seen;
the Light has shined on them who long
in shades of death have been.
2 To hail thee, Sun of Righteousness,
the gathering nations come;
they joy as when the reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.
3 For thou their burden dost remove,
and break the tyrant's rod,
as in the day when Midian fell
before the sword of God.
4 For unto us a child is born,
to us a Son is given,
and on his shoulder ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
the everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the God by all adored.
6 Lord Jesus, reign in us we pray,
and make us thine alone,
who with the Father ever art
