We Three Kings
(A) John Henry Hopkins Jr.
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying,
"Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?
For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."

Verse 1
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain moor and mountain
Following yonder star
Chorus
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 plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever ceasing never
Over us all to reign
Verse 3
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising gladly raising
Worshipping God on high
Verse 4
Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying
Sealed in the stone cold tomb
Chorus
O star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light
Verse 5
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia alleluia
Sounds through the earth and skies
