We Three Kings of Orient are,Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, Moor and mountain,Following yonder Star.

O Star of Wonder, Star of Night, Star with Royal Beauty bright, Westward leading, Still proceeding, Guide us to Thy perfect Light.GASPARD.

Born a King on Bethlehem plain,Gold I bring to crown Him again, King for ever, Ceasing never,Over us all to reign.

O 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.

O Star of Wonder, Star of Night, Star with Royal Beauty bright, Westward leading, Still proceeding, Guide us to Thy perfect Light.

BALTHAZARMyrrh is mine; its bitter perfumeBreathes 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; Heav'n sings Hallelujah: Hallelujah the earth replies.

O Star of Wonder, Star of Night, Star with Royal Beauty bright, Westward leading, Still proceeding, Guide us to Thy perfect Light.
