No. 3, The Kings

No. 3, The Kings - Stephen Varcoe

Three Kings from Persian lands afar

To Jordan follow the pointing star

And this the quest of the travellers three

Where the new-born King of the Jews may be

Full royal gifts they bear for the King

Gold incense myrrh are their offering

The star shines out with a steadfast ray

The kings to Bethlehem make their way

And then in worship they bend the knee

As Mary's child in her lap they see

Their royal gifts they show to the King

Gold incense myrrh are their offering

Thou child of man lo to Bethlehem

The Kings are travelling travel with them

The star of mercy the star of grace

Can't be thy heart to it's resting place

Gold incense myrrh thou canst not clear

Offer thy heart to the infant King
