KINGS OF ORIENT 8.8.8.6.Ref. |
We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to Thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign.
Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising all men raising, Worship Him, God on high.
Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom: Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stonecold tomb.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and sacrifice; Alleluia, Alleluia! Sounds through the earth and skies.
We three kings of Orient are; |
