We Three Kings Lyrics & Chords

KEY: Dm | [ BPM]


[Verse 1: All]
Dm                A7     Dm
We three kings of orient are
Dm               A7        Dm
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Dm        C
Field and fountain
F
Moor and mountain
Gm        A7     Dm
Following yonder star

[Chorus: All]
C7  F               Bb       F
O.. Star of wonder, star of night
F               Bb      F
Star with royal beauty bright
Dm        C        Bb        C7
Westward leading, still proceeding
F                  Bb     F
Guide us to thy perfect light


[Verse 2: Melchior]
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: All]
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

[Verse 3: Casper]
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high

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

[Verse 4: Balthazar]
Myrrh is mine
Its bitter perfume breathes
A life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone cold tomb

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

[Verse 5: All]
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice!
Al-le-lu-ia, al-le-lu-ia
Heaven to earth replies

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