We Three Kings Of Orient Are

WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE

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 the perfect light.

Born a babe on Bethlehem's plain
Gold we 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 the perfect light.

(Instrumental verse)

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