==Lyrics==
: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 might,
:Star with royal beauty bright,
:Westward leading, still proceeding,
:Guide us to the perfect light.
:Born a babe on Bethlehem's plain;
:Gold we bring to crown Him again;
:King forever, ceasing never,
:Over us all to reign.
:Refrain
:Frankincense to offer have I;
:Incense owns a Deity nigh;
:Prayer and praising, all men raising,
:Worship Him, God on High.
:Refrain
:Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
:Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
:Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
:Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
:Refrain
:Glorious now behold Him arise,
:King and God and sacrifice,
:Heaven sings, "Hallelujah!"
:Hallelujah!" Earth replies.
