Three Kings Came Riding

Chorus
Three kings came riding, riding from the east,
Three kings came riding, riding from the east,
Three kings came riding, riding from the east,
Three kings came riding, riding from the east,

Verse 1
On their camels coming from afar,
On a special journey,
Through the desert following a star,
Leading them to Bethlehem.

Chorus

Verse 2
On their camels filled with hope and joy
Looking for a stable,
Where they’ll find a little baby boy
Sleeping in a manger warm.

Chorus

Verse 3
On their camels causing quite a stir,
Bringing gifts for Jesus,
They have gold and frankincense and myrrh
For He is the Son of God.

Chorus (twice)
