Christmas carols, like this one sung in churches, carol services, and households for over 100 years, will stay popular for a long time to come. But it’s not just about the lyrics or music: today’s Christmas carols also need to catch the imagination of people and make them want to sing along. Here are some tips on how you can be sure that your Christmas carol is memorable enough.
The song “We Three Kings” is a Christmas carol that has been popular since the late 19th century. The lyrics are based on the biblical story of Matthew 2:1-12, which tells the story of wise men visiting Jesus. These men came from afar to follow in the footsteps of their Lord.
we three kings lyrics
We three kings of orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide with thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again
King for ever, 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 thy perfect Light.
Frankincense to offer have I.
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume
Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
