Text: | We Three Kings of Orient Are |
Author: | John H. Hopkins |
Tune: | [We three kings of Orient are] |
Composer: | John H. Hopkins |
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)
