Em B7 Em
We three kings of Orient are,
B7 Em
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
D G
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Am Em B7 Em D7
Following yonder star.
Refrain:
G C G
O Star of wonder, star of night,
C G
Star with royal beauty bright,
Em D C D G
Westward leading, still proceeding,
C G
Guide us to They perfect light.
II
Em B7 Em
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
B7 Em
Gold I bring, to crown Him again,
D G
King forever, ceasing never,
Am Em B7 Em D7
Over us all to reign.
III
Em B7 Em
Frankincense to offer have I,
B7 Em
Incense owns a Deity nigh,
D G
Pray'r and praising, all are raising,
Am Em B7 Em D7
Worship Him, God most high.
IV
Em B7 Em
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume,
B7 Em
Breathes a life of gathering gloom,
D G
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Am Em B7 Em D7
Seal'd in the stone cold tomb.
V
Em B7 Em
Glorious now behold Him arise,
B7 Em
King and God and sacrifice,
D G
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Am Em B7 Em D7
Earth to heav'n replies.
