We Three Kings (of Orient Are) ============================== w&m: John Henry Hopkins, 1857 Tune: Kings of Orient Meter: 8.8.4.4.6. with refrain [Verse 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. [Verse 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] [Verse 3] Frankincense to offer have I. Incense owns a Deity nigh. Prayer and praising all men raising, Worship Him, God on high. [Refrain] [Verse 4] Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom. Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying, Sealed in the stone~cold tomb. [Refrain] [Verse 5] Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice. Alleluia, alleluia! Sounds through the earth and skies. [Refrain]
