We Three Kings

John Schlitt


We three kings of orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain
Moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Born a king on bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown him again
King for ever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Oh! Oh!
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 night
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship him, god on high

Oh! Oh!
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
Al-le-lu-ia, al-le-lu-ia
Sounds to the earth and sky
Sounds to the earth and sky

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

Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Your perfect light
Ohhh
Star of wonder
