  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.
  3. Frankincense to offer have I;
    Incense owns a Deity nigh;
    Prayer and praising, voices raising,
    Worshiping God on high.
  4. Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
    Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
    Sorr’wing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
    Sealed in the stone cold tomb.
  5. Glorious now behold Him arise;
    King and God and sacrifice;
    Alleluia, Alleluia,
    Sounds through the earth and skies.

*The Bible mentions three gifts, but does not state the number of wise men.
