1 Be ready for Baby Jesus

2 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.

3 Born a King on Bethlehem plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again, King for ever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. O Star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light

4 Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a deity nigh, Prayer and praising, all men raising, Worship him, God most high. O Star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light

5 Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume,
Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in a stone-cold tomb. O Star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light

6 Glorious now behold him arise,
King and God and sacrifice; Alleluia, alleluia, Earth to heaven replies. O Star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light

27 Closing Hymn Away in a Manger Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down his sweet head, The stars in the bright sky Looked down where he lay, Asleep on the hay.

28 The cattle are lowing, The baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus No crying he makes, I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my side Until morning is nigh.

29 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay Close by me for ever, And love me I pray. Bless all the dear children In thy tender care, And fit us for heaven To live with you there.
