We Three Kings lyrics chords

We Three Kings
written by John Henry Hopkins


Em                B7     Em
We three kings of Orient are
                 B7       Em
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Em        D7       G
Field and fountain moor and mountain
Am        B7     Em
Following yonder star

Chorus

D7  G              C       G
O   star of wonder star of night
                C      G
Star with royal beauty bright
Em       D7      C        D7
Westward leading still proceeding
G               C       G
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

Repeat chorus

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity night
Prayer and praising voices raising
Worship Him God on high

Repeat chorus

Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

Repeat chorus

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia Alleluia
Peals through the earth and skies

Repeat chorus
