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]

  2. WoW !!! Beautiful ..

    I’m currently working on a book about The Three Kings. I had hoped to release it last month, but discouragement and doubt got the better of me. Hopefully, it will be ready next year—if it’s the Lord’s will.

      2. You are welcome. We just had a lesson on the 3 kings or magi. Our pastor thinks that they didn’t show up to a baby Jesus but to a toddler. That’s why King Herrod ordered all baby boys under the age of 2 killed.
