WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE

By John H. Hopkins, Jr.


We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain, Moor and mountain Following yonder star


Star of wonder, star of night Star of royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy perfect light



(VERSE 2… sung by Joe)

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain Gold I bring to crown him again

King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign



(VERSE 3…sung by Bruce)

Frankincense to offer have I Incense owns a Deity nigh

Prayer and praising, all men raising Worship Him, God most high



(VERSE 4…sung by Tinker)

Myrrh is mine, it’s 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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Heaven to Earth replies


(CHORUS)
