We Three Kings

3/8 Time

[Intro]
    x2

[Verse 1]
                                                
We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse a-far
                                              
field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yon-der star.

[Chorus]
                                                      
O-oh star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
                                                               
westward leading, still pro-ceeding, guide us to Thy perfect light.

[Verse 2]
                                                   
Born a king on Bethlehem s plain, gold I bring to crown Him again,
                                   
King forever, ceasing never, o-ver us all to reign.

[Chorus]
                                                      
O-oh star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
                                                               
westward leading, still pro-ceeding, guide us to Thy perfect light.

[Verse 3]
                                         
Frankincense to offer have I; incense owns a Deity nigh;
                                                
prayer and praising, all men raising, worship Him, God most high

[Chorus]
                                                      
O-oh star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
                                                               
westward leading, still pro-ceeding, guide us to Thy perfect light.

[Verse 4]
                                                      
Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom;
                                                  
sorrowing sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

[Chorus]
                                                      
O-oh star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
                                                               
westward leading, still pro-ceeding, guide us to Thy perfect light.

[Verse 5]
                                            
Glorious now behold Him a-rise; King and God and sacrifice:
                                   
Alle-luia, Alle-luia Earth to the heav ns re- plies

[Chorus]
                                                      
O-oh star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
                                                               
westward leading, still pro-ceeding, guide us to Thy perfect light.
