Star of Wonder


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 night,
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 night,
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 all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.



O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still
 proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.


Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume
Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding 
dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.


O star of wonder, star of night,
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 night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still 
proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light
