What An Honour

The star led me here to this place,

Here’s gold for the child of grace

A present that’s fit for a king

More precious than anything

What an honour to worship this King

To give Him the gifts we bring

It was worth the long journey we’ve done

To be here with God’s son

Chorus

I’ve travelled so far from my land,

I too have a gift in my hand,

Frankincense smells so sweet

It’s such a wonderful treat

I followed the star so brightThrough many days and nights

Myrrh is my gift for the boyFor he’ll have sorrow and joy

Everybody come, Everybody come, See the baby King,See the baby King,

Bow the knee and adore Him.Bow the knee and adore Him.Everybody come, Everybody come,

See the baby See the baby KingKing

Born on Christmas Day.Born on Christmas Day.

Everybody Come
