We Three Kings/Del Oriente Somos

Estrofa 1

1.

Del Oriente somos los tres,

Cabalgamos hasta Belén,

Que ha nacido el Prometido,

Príncipe de Israel.

Estribillo

¡Oh, astro de sublime ardor,

De divino resplandor!

Nuncio bello, tus destellos

Nos guiarán por su fulgor.

Estrofas 2-5

2.

Oro traigo para el rey

Que ha nacido aquí en Belén,

Rey excelso, Rey eterno,

Del mundo sumo bien.

3.

Del lucero vamos en pos,

Nos conduce al Hijo de Dios;

Yo le ofrezco Grato incienso,

Le rindo adoración.

4.

Ha venido al mundo la luz,

Mirra yo le ofrezco a Jesús,

Mirra pura, Amargura,

Símbolo de la cruz.

5.

Rey supremo, Dios Salvador,

Cielo y tierra te dan loor;

¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya!

Cantemos con fervor.

Verse 1

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 night,

Star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to the perfect light.

Verses 2-5

2.

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain,

Gold I bring to crown him again;

King forever, Ceasing never

Over us all to reign.

3.

Frankincense to offer have I:

Incense owns a Deity nigh;

Prayer and praising Gladly raising,

Worship him God on high.

4.

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume

Breathes a life of gathering gloom;

Sorrowing, sighing, Bleeding, dying,

Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

5.

Glorious now, behold him arise,

King and God and Sacrifice;

“Alleluia, Alleluia!”

Sounds through the earth and skies.
