We Three Kings Of Orient Are

J.H. Hopkins

Em                B7     Em                    B7        Em
We three kings of orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar
G         D         G                  Am           B7  Em
Field and fountain, Moor and mountain, following yonder star.

D   G               C       G                           C G
Oh, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
G        Am  G    C     G  Am G                        C       G
Westward leading, still proceeding;    Guide us to thy Perfect Light.

Em             B7          Em                     B7         Em
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, gold I bring to crown Him again.
G       D     G              Am          B7 Em
King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign.

Em              B7         Em                B7        Em
Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a deity nigh.
G          D        G                Am               B7   Em
Pray’r and praising all men raising, worship Him, God most high.

Em                 B7        Em                      B7        Em
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom;
G          D        G               Am                  B7   Em
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

Em             B7        Em                      B7   Em
Glorious now behold Him arise:  King and God and sacrifice
G     D    G          Am              B7  Em
“Alleluia, Alleluia!” Earth to heav’n replies.
