We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar,

Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star.

Refrain: O star of wonder, star of light, Star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light.

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, Gold I bring to crown him again,

King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. (Refrain)

Glorious now behold him arise; King and God and sacrifice:

Alleluia, Alleluia, Sounds through the earth and skies.

(Refrain)
