We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we’ve traveled afar
Cross fields and fountains, moors and mountains
We follow the Christmas star…
We follow the star…

He was born in a barn on Bethlehem plain
And everybody knows his name
Me I’m a son of Bethlehem’s pain
I live a West Bank life in shame…

Star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Glorious now behold him rise
King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, Halleluia
Sounds through the earth and skies

With bombs exploding in my ears
I run for cover- live in fear
An eye for an eye is never kind
Specially when it leaves the whole world blind…

Star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Through the ages, we still sing praises
In a world that’s dark, we seek a spark
We still wish on that distant star…

Star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light
Thy perfect light
Thy perfect…light
