Author: J. H. Hopkins, Jr. Appears in 319 hymnals Refrain First Line: Oh, star of wonder, star of night Lyrics: 1 We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Chorus:
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading,
Still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect Light.
2 Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again,
King for ever,
Ceasing never,
Over us all to reign. [Chorus]
3 Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a deity nigh,
Pray'r and praising,
All men raising,
Worship him, God on high. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [We three kings of Orient are]
We three kings of Orient are
