How to joining 3 files into comma seperated file

[jaykjoe]

I have 3 files with data with the same number of records in each file. I would like to merge or join these 3 files into a comma delimited file. For example, file1 has the person's name, file2 with their SSN, and file3 has their phone number.

file1 file2 file3
john 123456789 4159876543
jill 987654321 4153456789

combined file:
john, 123456789, 4159876543
jill, 987654321, 4153456789

Thanks.
