The ReClaim Hymnal

ReClaim - Index of Hymns

Peruse the list of all the hymns that are included in the printed "ReClaim Hymnal for Church and Home" (Pew and Spiral Editions)

We Three Kings of Orient Are


1 We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star.

Refrain:
Oh, 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 Most High. (refrain)

4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. (refrain)

5 Glorious now behold him arise, King and God and Sacrifice;
Heav'n sings alleluia: Alleluia the earth replies. (refrain)
