We Three Kings of Orient Are


Tutti:
We three Kings of O-ri-ent are;
bear-ing gifts we tra-verse a-far.
Field and foun-tain, moor and moun-tain
fol-low-ing yon-der star.

O,_
star of wan-der, star of night,
star with roy-al beau-ty bright.
West-ward lead-ing, still pro-ceed-ing
guide us to the per-fect light.

Melchior:
Born a king on Beth-le-hem's plain.
Gold I bring to crown Him a-gain.
King for-ev-er, ceas-ing nev-er.
O-ver all to reign.

O,_
star of wan-der, star of night,
star with roy-al beau-ty bright.
West-ward lead-ing, still pro-ceed-ing
guide us to the per-fect light.

Casper:
Frank-in-cense to of-fer have I;
in-cense owns a De-i-ty high.
Pray'r and prais-ing, all men rais-ing,
Wor-ship Him God most high.

O,_
star of wan-der, star of night,
star with roy-al beau-ty bright.
West-ward lead-ing, still pro-ceed-ing
guide us to the per-fect light.

Balthazar:
Myrrh is mine, it's bit-ter per-fume,
breathes a life of gath-er-ing gloom.
Sor-rowing, sigh-ing, bleed-ing, dy-ing,
seal'd in the stone-cold tomb.

O,_
star of wan-der, star of night,
star with roy-al beau-ty bright.
West-ward lead-ing, still pro-ceed-ing
guide us to the per-fect light.

Tutti:
Glo-rious now be-hold Him a-rise,
King and God and Sac-ri-fice,
Al-le-lu-ia, Al-le-lu-ia.
Earth__ to heav'n re-plies.

O,_
star of wan-der, star of night,
star with roy-al beau-ty bright.
West-ward lead-ing, still pro-ceed-ing
guide us to the per-fect light.
