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

Beautiful! Thank you so much.

It’s September but this song popped into my head. I found this version. Alleluia! Beautifully done in all ways!

[@HistoryBuff1973]

Just came out in my suggestions too...and I am happy.

[@amandar3841]

How did I just now find this?! Their voices are heavenly!

[@gilangranggap830]

Only 90's kid remember this ... 1590 kids

[@Gambit771]

It was written in the 1850s so you should've ended with 1890s kids.

[@lyrimetacurl0]

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).

[@OrangeMilkBlossom]

D j it was a joke...

[@lunchboxx_pete9326]

Lmfao!

[@charlesinglin]

Us 1950's kids remember this, especially if we went to parochial schools.

[@ebany2244]

Who's listening to this other than on Christmas? I can't be the only one.

[@peterforrest3424]

Yes I am now end of april

[@emmaanne5121]

How am I just hearing this for the first time right now?! Absolutely beautiful and their voices are angelic!! 🙏✨

[@wardenphil]

This is the best version of this song I have ever heard.

[@SteveReplin]

I haven't heard anything of theirs that doesn't shortly become my favorite!! They are incredible!!

[@simplypagans]

Ive been lucky enough to see them live a couple of times. Amazing live too

[@JacquelineRPrice]

This is probably my favorite version ever done of this song.

[@marycecilledivine]

Me, too!

[@wolfpup9]

+Jackie Price I fell asleep to this in 4 mins it was a long day for me

[@sarahwaldock3196]

Me too, took it out of being the same old same old

[@Warrogue1]

Check out the Roches version.

[@JamesJones-sf3du]

What a beautiful song. Well done ladies. 👏👏🙏

[@user-xb3yk7el1m]

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.

[@user-xb3yk7el1m]

@Marj Actually Stella Maris or our lady is an catholic belief, was described by Venerabilis Pius PP. XII in his Doctor Mellifluus.

[@alandavies7127]

@@user-xb3yk7el1m Amen to that

[@lightablaze]

reminds me not only of Christmas but of nymphs and faeries as well

[@ambergoodson3153]

this is beautifully done. it's rare to heard the whole song. I love the harmony so much!

[@CharlesMartel676]

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Thank you, ladies!

[@EmperorGarm]

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.

[@iordanneDiogeneslucas]

I've been atheist since i was 9 but when to a religious school. The songs were the best bit

[@angelicwolf909]

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.

[@wandertree]

It's an ugly thing when a culture destroys all that made it strong and beautiful. Keep singing those Christmas songs!

[@weescamp]

This is the very best version of my favourite Christmas carol.
