Lyrics Sample 

We three kings of Orient are.

Bearing gifts we travel 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.

Melchior 

Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain,

Gold I bring to crown Him again.

King forever, ceasing never

Over us all to reign.

All

O star of wonder, star of night... (etc.)
