166 – We Three Kings

Verse 1

We three kings of Orient are;
bearing gifts we traverse afar,
field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.

Refrain

O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.

Verse 2

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
gold I bring to crown him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
over us all to reign.

Verse 3

Frankincense to offer have I;
incense owns a Deity nigh;
prayer and praising, voices raising,
worshiping God on high.

Verse 4

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom;
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

Verse 5

Glorious now behold him arise;
King and God and sacrifice:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
sounds through the earth and skies.

Come unto Jesus, all you who are weary
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel
Here bring your wounded hearts, broken and needy
Come unto Jesus, mighty to heal

Joy of the comfortless, Light for the straying
Hope of the penitent, Peace in our strife
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying:
"My yoke is easy, my burden is light"

Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough
Come unto Jesus, rest in His love

Come taste the Bread of Life, broken for sinners
Drink from the cup of His promise made sure
Feast at His table as sons and as daughters
Grace overflowing is yours evermore

Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough
Come unto Jesus, rest in His love

Come now and follow Him, this life forsaking
All that was gain, count as nothing but loss
Trade all this world for His kingdom unfading
Come unto Jesus, take up your cross
Come unto Jesus, take up your cross
Life everlasting He offers to us

Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough

Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough
Come unto Jesus, rest in His love
