We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we travel so far
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star
Chorus:
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light
--- Instrumental ---
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gifts we bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
Chorus:
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light
--- Instrumental ---
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies
Chorus:
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding
Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
