Lyrics

We three kings of Orient are;
bearing gifts we traverse afar,
field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.

  O star of wonder, star of light,
  star with royal beauty bright,
  westward leading still proceeding,
  guide us to 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 light,
  star with royal beauty bright,
  westward leading still proceeding,
  guide us to thy perfect light.

Frankincense to offer have I;
incense owns a deity nigh;
prayer and praising, voices raising,
worshiping God on high.

  O star of wonder, star of light,
  star with royal beauty bright,
  westward leading still proceeding,
  guide us to thy perfect light.

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom;
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stonecold tomb.

  O star of wonder, star of light,
  star with royal beauty bright,
  westward leading still proceeding,
  guide us to thy perfect light.

Glorious now behold him arise;
King and God and sacrifice:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
sounds through the earth and skies.

  O star of wonder, star of light,
  star with royal beauty bright,
  westward leading still proceeding,
  guide us to thy perfect light.
