We Three Kings/What Child Is This

We three kings of Orient are bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain- following yonder star

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain- gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never over us all to reign
Star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I- incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising, worship Him, God on high

Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb
O star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light

Glorious now behold Him arise- King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia, earth to heaven replies
O star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light
Star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light

What child is this, who laid to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping

Why lies He in such mean estate where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here the silent Word is pleading
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laude, the babe, the son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come peasant, king, to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laude, the babe, the son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laude, the babe, the son of Mary

We three kings of Orient are
We three kings of Orient are
We three king of Orient are
