Star burning bright in the night, have you been sent from up above
Gold I will bring to greet your king, can I follow you tonight
The three wise men who from the east have travelled both far and wide
To see the king in his glory and his wonder in the manger
Star burning bright in the night, will you lead us unto the babe
Frankincense is made to make you strong and true and brave
The three wise men who from the east have travelled both far and wide
To see the king in his glory and his wonder
Star burning bright in the night, you are clear both far and near
Myrrh is the gift I possess, it's a bitter perfume at best
The three wise men who from the east have travelled both far and wide
To see the king in his glory and his wonder
Is this him? No
What's this that I hear of a new king of the Jews
Tell me all you know and then I'll let you go
Herod is my name, I'm the king of all the land
I want to see this babe you speak of, tell me all you know
We don't know this babe, we are following the star
We have travelled here, we have come from way afar
Herod, that's his name, he's the king of all the land
He does not want this babe alive, so let us not return back here then
Star burning bright in the night, please guide these men where they must be
Star burning bright in the night, please are you watching over me
The three wise men who from the east have travelled both far and wide
To see the king in his glory and his wonder in a manger
Star burning bright in the night, you've shown us where we want to go
This child, lying here, no fear has saved us more than we could know
The three wise men who from the east have travelled both far and wide
To see the king in his glory and his wonder
