Lyrics
We three kings of Orient
are, bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder
star
CHORUS:
O star of wonder, star of might
Star of royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us with thy perfect light
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain, gold I bring to crown Him
again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
O star of wonder, star of might
Star of royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us with thy perfect light
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense of a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high,
O star of wonder, star of might
Star of royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us with thy perfect light
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
O star of wonder, star of might
Star of royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us with thy perfect light
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia
Earth to the Heaven replies.
O star of wonder, star of might
Star of royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us with thy perfect light
