The Three Kings 歌詞

 

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

How brightly shines the morning star

With grace and truth from heaven afar

Our Jesse tree now bloweth

The star shines out with a steadfast ray

The kings to Bethlehem make their way

And there 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

Of Jacob's stem and David's line

For thee my Bridegroom King divine

My soul with love o'erfloweth

Thou child of man lo to Bethlehem

The Kings are travelling travel with them

The star of mercy the star of grace

Shall lead thy heart to its resting place

Gold incense myrrh thou canst not bring

Offer thy heart to the infant King

Thy word Jesu Inly feeds us

Rightly leads us Life bestowing

 

Praise O praise such love o'erflowing
