We three kings of orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain
Moor and mountain
Following yonder star
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King for ever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
[Chorus
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
[Verse 3
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high
Myrrh is mine
Its bitter perfume breathes
A life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone cold tomb
[Chorus: All]
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
[Verse 5: All]
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice!
Al-le-lu-ia, al-le-lu-ia
Heaven to earth replies
[Chorus: All]
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Thank you, @Sky Jizzle.
Beautiful! Thank you so much.
Only 90's kid remember this ... 1590 kids
It was written in the 1850s so you should've ended with 1890s kids.
I used to think it was
"star of night, oh star of night,
starry boy oh beauty bright"
Also in the late 19th century they used to say technical terms in normal language ("westward leading, still proceeding" is really not something most songwriters would write these days).
D j it was a joke...
Lmfao!
Us 1950's kids remember this, especially if we went to parochial schools.
It’s September but this song popped into my head. I found this version. Alleluia! Beautifully done in all ways!
Just came out in my suggestions too...and I am happy.
Who's listening to this other than on Christmas? I can't be the only one.
Yes I am now end of april
yeh your not july here, mind you the nights are drawing in
How did I just now find this?! Their voices are heavenly!
How am I just hearing this for the first time right now?! Absolutely beautiful and their voices are angelic!! 🙏✨
This is the best version of this song I have ever heard.
This is probably my favorite version ever done of this song.
Me, too!
+Jackie Price I fell asleep to this in 4 mins it was a long day for me
Me too, took it out of being the same old same old
Check out the Roches version.
I haven't heard anything of theirs that doesn't shortly become my favorite!! They are incredible!!
Ive been lucky enough to see them live a couple of times. Amazing live too
What a beautiful song. Well done ladies. 👏👏🙏
reminds me not only of Christmas but of nymphs and faeries as well
I love "modern" Mediaeval European style music, they give heaven-like and ancient, deep sounds. However these are rare. Before Mediaeval Baebes I only know the German band Adaro.
@Marj Actually Stella Maris or our lady is an catholic belief, was described by Venerabilis Pius PP. XII in his Doctor Mellifluus.
@@user-xb3yk7el1m Amen to that
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
As always, beautiful.
Oh I so love these ladies!!!

Wow. I grew up with Christian music and I've almost always have hated it, but every once in a while something comes along to wow me, and this is one of them.
I've been atheist since i was 9 but when to a religious school. The songs were the best bit
absolutely a perfect version , well done . God bless you
Just FABULOUS!!
This is the very best version of my favourite Christmas carol.

Beautiful song...Talented Baebes...
Breathtaking.
Very nicely done. Christmas songs are quickly becoming forbidden fruit, but their echos still reverberate in distant and happy childhood memories and this song was one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing.
It's an ugly thing when a culture destroys all that made it strong and beautiful. Keep singing those Christmas songs!
One of my favourite Christmas songs.
Another lovely rendition by my most favourite of all groups.
It would be wonderful if this was part of a new DVD..
Way to wake up this carol!! Visually stunning in so many ways....:)
Merci pour ces chants qui nous portent vers le divin

It is wonderful when songs are sung in different versions and by people of different cultures. It is so that everyone can enjoy them especially generations to generations.

we 3 kings of Orient are, trying to smoke a dynamite cigar....
BANG!!!
we 2 kings of Orient are.....
We three kings of Orient are, tried to smoke a rubber cigar.
It was loaded and exploded...
Now we're on yonder star.
I suppose it shows my age that I know
we three kings of orient are
one in a taxi, one in a car
one on a scooter, bipping his hooter
following Ringo Starr
and
We three kings of orient are
travelling in ladies underwear
no elastic how fantastic
knickers and vest and bra
Sarah Waldock monk lanugo as sung
We three spivs of Leicester Square,
Selling ladies' underwear,
They are fantastic, they've no elastic
But only 10p a pair.
Bahahha..oh you nasty boy!
They r so pretty and adorable
We three kings of Orient are.
One on a tractor, two in a car.
One on a scooter. Tooting his hooter. Following yonder star.
wooooooah!
I came here as a long ago fan of Dorothy Carter, one of the founders of the group. But this is beautifully done, both in singing and video, all in itelf.
The one with red hair I fancy 😍
Holy....this song is amazing
espetaculares
Brava!!!
I only wish...that I could be a part of this amazing group...
