<div class="lyrics">
<p>We three kings of Orient are;<br>
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,<br>
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,<br>
Following yonder star.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">O star of wonder, star of light,<br>
Star with royal beauty bright,<br>
Westward leading, still proceeding,<br>
Guide us to thy perfect light.</p>
<p>Born a King on Bethlehem&#8217;s plain<br>
Gold I bring to crown Him again,<br>
King forever, ceasing never,<br>
Over us all to reign.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Frankincense to offer have I;<br>
Incense owns a Deity nigh;<br>
Prayer and praising, voices raising,<br>
Worshipping God on high.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume<br>
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;<br>
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,<br>
Sealed in the stone cold tomb.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Glorious now behold Him arise;<br>
King and God and sacrifice;<br>
Alleluia, Alleluia,<br>
Sounds through the earth and skies.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
