SATB acapella
Words and Music by John Henry Hopkins
New 3rd verse text by M Ryan Taylor
Arranged by M Ryan Taylor
This acapella arrangement of “We Three Kings” has some tight harmonies, but nothing that should overwhelm most choirs. The new third verse adds a personal dimension to the lyric, expounding on what we can give to our Savior today.” ~ M Ryan Taylor
The Text:
We three kings of orient are
bearing gifts we traverse afar.
O’er field and fountain moor and mountain,
following yonder star.
O Star of wonder, Star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light!
Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gifts we bring to crown him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
O Star of wonder, Star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light!
[New 3rd Verse]
Though I cannot be a king,
There are gifts I too can bring:
All my trying, love undying,
my humble offering.
O Star of wonder, Star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light!
