Dm A Dm
We three kings of Orient are;
Dm A Dm
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
F C F
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Gm A Dm A A7
Following yonder star.
Refrain:
F Bb F
O star of wonder, star of night,
F Bb F
Star with royal beauty bright,
C Gm
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Dm Bb Dm
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.
