Light and Life ‎#121

121. We three kings of Orient are

1 We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.

Chorus:
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading,
Still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect Light.

2 Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again,
King for ever,
Ceasing never,
Over us all to reign. [Chorus]

3 Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a deity nigh,
Pray'r and praising,
All men raising,
Worship him, God on high. [Chorus]
