[chorus]
Frankincense to offer have I, incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising all folks raising, worship Him God most High
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb
Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia; Earth to heaven replies
