Ministry of Music: The Kings’ Carols by Albrecht
One fine day, I met upon the way
the three great kings as they came slowly marching.
One fine day, I met upon the way
the three great kings in all their fine array.
With gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh,
And valiant warriors to guard the kingly treasure,
With gifts of gold brought from far away,
And warriors’ shields in all their bright array. One fine day!
We three kings of orient are, bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.
Oh, Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect light
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia, Earth to the heav’ns replies.
Oh, Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect light.
One fine day! One fine day! One fine day!

Go now in peace in faith and in love
Amen, Amen, Amen.
