There Came Three Kings Ere Break Of Day Lyrics

1. There came three kings ere break of day,
All on Epiphany;
Their gifts they bare, both rich and rare,
All, all, Lord Christ, for Thee:
Gold, frankincense, and myrrh are there,
Where is the King? O where? O where?
Where is the King? O where?

2. The star shone brightly overhead,
The air was calm and still,
O'er Bethlehem's field its rays were shed,
The dew lay on the hill:
We see no throne, no palace fair,-
Where is the King? O where? O where?
Where is the King? O where?

3. An old man knelt at a manger low,
A Babe lay in the stall;
The starlight played on the Infant brow,
Deep silence lay o'er all:
A maiden knelt o'er the Babe in prayer,-
There is the King, O there, O there!
