Mario Lanza, We Three Kings of Orient Are

We Three Kings, also known as We Three Kings of Orient Are or The Quest of the Magi, is a Christmas carol that was written by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857. Also (Russian translation): We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect Light. Born a king on Bethlehem s plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign. Frankincense to offer have I. Incense owns a Deity nigh. Prayer and praising all men raising, Worship Him, God on high. Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume Breaths a life of gathering gloom. Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying, Sealed in the stonecold tomb. Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice. Alleluia, alleluia Sounds through the earth and skies.
