We Three Kings - Orchestral Version with Choral parts and Harmonies [Epiphany Song!]

Details

Description

We Three Kings of Orient are.... So happy to sing along! :) This version of the classic Christmas carol is perfectly singable but also has a new descant / instrumental section that captures the beauty and majesty of this song, often sung in early January for the Feast of the Magi / Epiphany!

And I'm very happy to share this rendition of a favourite Christmas classic that I *might* have gone a little overboard with on the orchestra front, but I think the song absolutely deserves it! I wrote the arrangement and played all the parts myself as part of the recording process, and learned a lot while doing it! Hope you like it!

If you want to use this video in a Christmas church service please scroll down for my email to get [free!] permission. I'd be so happy to see this song be used wherever it can be a blessing!
Have a blessed and Merry Christmas and thanks for listening and singing along!

If you enjoy this channel, you might like the “slowed and reverb” versions that I post on my side channel, @EtherealHymns
They are what I call “Cathedral Mixes”, where there is more space to think and enough reverb to carry you away peacefully on the clouds of a glorious sunset….

Lyrics:

We Three Kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder Star.

Refrain:
Star of Wonder, Star of Night,
Star with Royal Beauty bright,
Westward leading,
Still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect Light.

Born a King on Bethlehem plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King for ever, Ceasing never
Over us all to reign. [Refrain]

Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh:
Prayer and praising
All men raising,
Worship Him God on High. [Refrain]

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom; -
Sorrowing, sighing,
Bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King, and God, and Sacrifice;
All of Heav'n sings Hallelujah:
Music that Fills the skies [Refrain]                                  

"Three Kings of Orient" by John Henry Hopkins Jr. 1820-1891

Lastly, consider this channel your own personal hymn-sing - I'm always hoping for new requests for hard-to-find songs. If you have a favourite hymn you'd like to hear or something you can't find anywhere else on the internet, please leave a comment below and let me know, or email staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll see if I can do it for you! The older and less known, the better! It's always a delight to unearth treasures from the past and give them a new voice to reach believers in a new era.
