We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse a-far
A         E         F#m      A         Bm        C#7    F#m
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.
 
[Chorus]
E7   A               D       A      A               D      A
O-oh star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright,
F#m      E        Bm       E7sus4 E7    A               D       A
Westward leading, still procee   -ding, guide us to thy perfect light.

F#m            C#7         F#m    F#m             C#7        F#m
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain, gold I bring to crown Him again,
A       E     F#m     A      Bm      C#7    F#m
King forever, ceasing never, over us all to reign.
 
[Chorus]
E7   A               D       A      A               D      A
O-oh star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright,
F#m      E        Bm       E7sus4 E7    A               D       A
Westward leading, still procee   -ding, guide us to thy perfect light.
 
[Verse 3]
F#m             C#7        F#m F#m            C#7   F#m
Frankincense to offer have I;  incense owns a Deity nigh;
A          E         F#m    A        Bm          C#7    F#m
Prayer and praising, voices raising, worshipping God on high
 
[Chorus]
E7   A               D       A      A               D      A
O-oh star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright,
F#m      E        Bm       E7sus4 E7    A               D       A
Westward leading, still procee   -ding, guide us to thy perfect light.

F#m                C#7       F#m  F#m                C#7       F#m
Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom;
A         E        F#m       A      Bm            C#7        F#m
Sorrowing sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
 
[Chorus]
E7   A               D       A      A               D      A
O-oh star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright,
F#m      E        Bm       E7sus4 E7    A               D       A
Westward leading, still procee   -ding, guide us to thy perfect light.

F#m            C#7       F#m   F#m              C#7  F#m
Glorious now behold Him arise; King and God and sacrifice:
A            E    F#m    A    Bm        C#7     F#m
Heav’n sings Hallelujah: Hallelujah the earth replies.
 
[Chorus]
E7   A               D       A      A               D      A
O-oh star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright,
F#m      E        Bm       E7sus4 E7    A               D       A
Westward leading, still procee   -ding, guide us to thy perfect light.
