Kings of Earth on a course unknown
Bearing gifts from afar
Hoping, praying
Following yonder star
Silhouette of a caravan
Painted against the sky
Wise men searching
For the holy child
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
One king held the hope the world
A star hangs over Bethlehem
A journey ends in the night
Three kings, trembling
Behold the glorious sight
Heaven's treasure Emmanuel
Drawing men to bow down
Tiny baby born to wear a crown
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
One king held the hope of the world
