[Christmas] We Three Kings : Arranged for Mixed Choir Acappella
We Three Kings (PDF)
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!
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!
