WE THREE KINGS

Tran: Em D (4x)

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

Born a king on Bethlehem plain
Gold I bring to crown him again
King forever ceasing never
Over us all to reign

D G              C       G
O star of wonder star of night 
G               C      G
Star with royal beauty bright 
Em       D       C        D
Westward leading still proceeding 
G               C       Em
Guide us to thy perfect light


Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a deity night
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God on high

Myrrh is mine it's bitter perfume 
Breathes a life of gathering gloom 
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in a stone cold tomb.

Glorious now behold him arise
King and God, and sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Heaven and earth replies.
