We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we travel 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.

Melchior 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 ...

Casper Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God most high.

O star of wonder, star of night ...

Balthazar Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in a stone-cold tomb.

O star of wonder, star of night ...

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King, and God, and sacrifice!
Heav'n sings alleluia,
Alleluia the earth replies.

O star of wonder, star of night ...
