Author: John H. Hopkins, Jr. Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #208 (2022) 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.
Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of light,
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. [Refrain]
3 Frankincense to offer have I,
incense owns a Deity nigh;
prayer and praising, voices raising,
worshiping God on high. [Refrain]
4 Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom;
sorrowing, 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] Topics: Jesus, Conceived and Born Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: KINGS OF ORIENT
