Author: John H. Hopkins Hymnal: Worship in Song #95 (1996) First Line: We three kings of Orient are 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 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. [Refrain]
3 Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship him, 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!
Sound thro' the earth and skies. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Epiphany; Story of Jesus; Nativity; Praise; Prayer Scripture: Matthew 2:1-13 Languages: English Tune Title: KINGS OF ORIENT
