We Three Kings Lyrics - Christmas Carol
We Three Kings Lyrics in English Christmas Carol
Verse
We Three Kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Chorus
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect light.
Verse - Melchior
Born a King on Bethlehem plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
Chorus
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect light.
Verse - Casper
Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raining,
Worship Him God most high.
Chorus
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect light.
Verse - Balthazar
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in a stone-cold tomb.
Chorus
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,
Kin and God and sacrifice,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Earth and heaven replies.

We Three Kings Lyrics in English Christmas Carol. "We Three Kings" (or "We Three Kings of Orient Are") is a Christmas carol written by John Henry Hopkins Jr. in 1857. It is suggested to have been based on the biblical account of the Biblical magi, also known as the Three Wise Men, and their journey to Bethlehem.
It is one of the most famous Christmas carols and is used in the liturgy of the Western Christian Church. The lyrics of the carol are taken from the poem "The Journey of the Magi" written by T.S. Eliot. The carol has been recorded by a large number of singers from every music genre.
It is one of the most popular Christmas carols in the United States. The song tells the story of the biblical Magi, or wise men, who followed the star of Bethlehem to the manger where Jesus was born.
The song is traditionally sung in three sections, each of which follows the journey of the Magi. The first section describes their journey to the manger, the second is about their gifts for the baby Jesus, and the third is a prayer of thanksgiving.
The song is usually accompanied by a traditional guitar or organ accompaniment, although it may also be performed with a full orchestra. Its popularity has led to numerous versions and arrangements, including renditions by a number of well-known artists, such as Bruce Springsteen, Josh Groban, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It is also a popular choice for children's choirs and school performances.
