[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.
