1 Del oriente somos los tres,
Cabalgamos hasta Belén,
Que ha nacido el
Prometido,
Príncipe de Israel.
Estribillo:
¡Oh, astro de sublime ardor,
De divino resplandor!
Nuncio bello, tus destellos
Nos guiarán por su fulgor.
2 Oro traigo para el rey
Que ha nacido aquí en Belén;
Rey excelso,
Rey eterno,
Del mundo sumo bien. [Estribillo]
3 Del lucero vamos en pos,
Nos conduce al Hijo de Dios;
Yo le ofrezco
Grato incienso,
Le rindo adoración. [Estribillo]
4 Ha venido al mundo la luz,
Mirra yo le ofrezco a Jesús,
Mirra pura,
Amargura,
Símbolo de la cruz. [Estribillo]
5 Rey supremo, Dios Salvador,
Cielo y tierra te dan loor;
¡Aleluya!
¡Aleluya!
Cantemos con fervor. [Estribillo]

1 We three kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the 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. [Refrain]
3 Frankincense to offer have I:
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Pray'r and praising
Gladly raising,
Worship him God on high. [Refrain]
4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorr'wing, sighing,
Bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]
5 Glorious now; behold him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice:
"Alleluia,
Alleluia!"
Sounds through the earth and skies. [Refrain]
