“We Three Kings”
 By John H. Hopkins Jr., 1857

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.

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, voices
raising, Worshipping God on high.

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
 Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing,
sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone cold tomb.

Glorious now behold Him arise;
 King and God and sacrifice; Alleluia, Alleluia, 
Sounds through the earth and skies.
