   Tune: Kings of Orient, John H. Hopkins, Jr.

   Em                 B7          Em
1  We three kings of  Orient      are: 
2  Born  a  King  on  Bethlehem's plain: 
3  Frankincense  to   offer have  I, 
4  Myrrh is mine, its bitter  per-fume 
5  Glorious  now  be -hold Him  a-rise: 

  (Em)                B7          Em
1  Bearing gifts  we  traverse a -far
2  Gold I  bring  to  crown him a-gain, 
3  Incense  owns  a   Deity       nigh; 
4  Breathes a life of gathering   gloom- 
5  King and God  and  Sacri   -   fice; 

  (Em)        D         G         D7   G
1  Field and  fountain, moor and  moun-tain
2  King for - ever,     ceasing   ne - ver, 
3  Prayer and praising, all men   rais-ing, 
4  Sorrowing, sighing,  bleeding, dy - ing, 
5  Alle   -   luia,     Alle   -  lu - ia! 

   Am                 Em    B7   Em
1  Following          yon - der  star.
2  Over      us       all   to   reign.
3  Worship    Him,    God   on   high.
4  Sealed  in   the   stone-cold tomb.
5  Sounds through the earth  and skies.

Chorus
   D7  G               Em   C  G
   O-O star of wonder, star of night, 

   (G)             Em   C  G
   Star with royal beau-ty bright, 

   Em       D    G    C     G   D7   G
   Westward lead-ing, still pro-ceed-ing, 

   (G)             C       G
   Guide us to thy perfect light.
