We Three Kings
Majestic Journey: We Three Kings Unveil Profound Hope
Lyrics
We three kings of orient are,
We three kings from the East are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Bearing gifts, we travel a great distance,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Through fields, fountains, moors, and mountains,
Following yonder star.
Following the guiding star in the sky.
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Oh, star of wonder, shining in the night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
A radiant star with regal brilliance,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Leading us westward, always progressing,
Guide with thy perfect light.
Guiding with its flawless light.
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Born as a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again
I bring gold to crown him once more,
King for ever, ceasing never
A king forever, never ceasing,
Over us all to reign.
Ruling over us all.
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Oh, star of wonder, shining in the night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
A radiant star with regal brilliance,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Leading us westward, always progressing,
Guide with thy perfect light.
Guiding with its flawless light.
Frankincense to offer have I, incense owns a Deity nigh
Frankincense I have to offer,
Pray'r and praising, all men raising,
Incense fit for a deity is mine,
Worship him, God most high, oh
Prayer and praise from all mankind,
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Oh, star of wonder, shining in the night,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
A radiant star with regal brilliance,
Guide with to thy perfect light.
Leading us westward, always progressing,
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Myrrh is mine, with its bitter perfume,
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Symbolizing life amid gathering gloom,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
Sorrow, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Oh, star of wonder, shining in the night,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
A radiant star with regal brilliance,
Guide with thy perfect light.
Leading us westward, always progressing,
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Now behold Him glorious, rising,
Alleluia, Alleluia
A king and God, the ultimate sacrifice,
Earth to heav'n replies
Alleluia, Alleluia,
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Oh, star of wonder, shining in the night,
Westward leading, still proceeding
A radiant star with regal brilliance,
Guide us to Thy perfect light
Leading us westward, always progressing,
