Star of wonder, star of light.

"We three kings of Orient are,
bearing gifts we traverse 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.

Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
gold I bring to crown him again.
King forever, ceasing never
over us all to rein.

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 nigh.
Pray'r and praising, all men raising
worship him, god most high.

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

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume,
breathes of life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

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
Alleluia, Alleluia,
earth to heav'n replies.

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

- We three kings of Orient are.

Just put all the decor up a few days ago, best time of the year. Ever. I've never payed much attention to these lyrics, and I never have in christmas songs that much, and I didn't realise just how beautiful and meaningful they are.
