Refrain: O star of wonder, star of light, 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 reign. (Refrain) Glorious now behold him arise; King and God and sacrifice: Alleluia, Alleluia, Sounds through the earth and skies. (Refrain)
