I found this delightful carol text when I was working on my children’s Christmas songbook, “O Sing a Song of Bethlehem,” back in 2004.

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. more »

The words of this original carol reflect on the symbols of how our Savior is "the bread of life," "the bright and morning star," as well as "lamb of God." Surely Christ will be "our compass and our lantern for all eternity." more »
