1 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 night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.

2 Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again;
King forever,
Ceasing never
Over us all to reign. [Refrain]

3 Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising
Gladly raising,
Worshiping God on high. [Refrain]

4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorr'wing, sighing,
Bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]

5 Glorious now behold him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice:
Alleluia,
Alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies. [Refrain]

1 Del oriente venimos tres,
ricos dones a ofrecer;
ha nacido el prometido,
el Rey de Israel.

Estribillo:
¡Oh, astro de sublime ardor,
de divino resplandor!
Bella estella que destella,
guíanos con tu fulgor.

2 Oro traigo para el Rey
que ha nacido aquí en Belén;
Rey excelso, Rey eterno,
del mundo sumo bien. [Estribillo]

3 Del lucero vamos en pos,
nos conduce al Hijo de Dios.
Yo le ofrezco grato incienso,
le rindo adoración. [Estribillo]

4 Ha venido al mundo la luz,
mirra yo le ofrezco a Jesús;
mirra pura, amargura,
simbolo de la cruz. [Estribllo]

5 Rey supremo, Dios Salvador,
cielo y tierra te dan loor:
¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya!
Cantemos con fervor. [Estribillo]
