The lyrics draw from the traditional carol 'We Three Kings,' using the imagery of the star to point to Christ as the light of the world. The song emphasizes the incarnation, with lines about God being with us and the Savior coming to set the world right. It also touches on the purpose of Jesus' birth, highlighting that He came to bring life to the dead. The overall tone is reverent and worshipful, celebrating the wonder of God's gift.

Star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light
Guide us to Thy perfect light
God of wonder, God of light
God is with us here tonight
Holy Savior in this manger
Come to set the world to right
Come to set the world to right
Gift of wonder, gift of light
Gift of royal beauty bright
Heaven's glory here before me
Born to bring the dead to life
Born to bring the dead to life
