WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE-Christmas Carol-Villancico

WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE with lyrics below
this version lyrics:

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Chorus:
O 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's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.
Chorus:
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.

You Skiped vrese 3

[avatarprimus]

@annabell913 yeah, ¨they¨ skiped that part i dont know why, that pissed me off a bit too, but it´s a 1940-1950´s recording from a radio show in the usa, so, there´s nothing i can do to change that, sorry!! but, still is a beautiful rendition, don´t you think??. Greetings and have a Happy New Year!!!

I wonder where they get the idea that there were three kings, or that they came by camels, or that they visited this baby on the same night. There is no mention of this in Mathew 2:1-12. It just says wise men and that they gave three gifts. That doesn't mean that there were three. There could have been two or even ten. Of course, all of this is a mythstery.

[avatarprimus]

@TheCobalt100 hi, in some non-Canonical Gospels or Apocryphal gospels ( apocrypha means ¨things put away¨) from the early Christians, they mentioned several things about these ¨magi¨or wise men. For instance:in the II century ¨Childhood gospel¨ acording Thomas, was 3 legions of soldiers, 1 fron Persia, 1 from Babilon, and another from Asia, in the V century Armenian ¨Chaildhood gospel¨(of Jesus) the name of the wise men leading them was Balthazar, Melkon (Melchior) y Gaspard. Merry Christmas!!!

@TheCobalt100, they visited Herod at the same time so they visited Jesus at the same time too, cause if they came in separate groups, Herod would suspect when the first ones didn´t return to tell him were the baby was, and he wolud send spies with the other ones.By the way the camel is the better way to travel long distances in desertic areas even now, so is logic that they came by camels.Perhaps wasn´t 3 kings but 3 high emisaries, in any case these are early Christians traditions. Greetings!!

Who sings this?

[avatarprimus]

@Ruach Hi, this is singed by the Longines Symphonette Society, a record label which specialized in releasing classic radio programs and multiple-record box sets broadcasted from 1943 to 1957 in the USA.

I hate when the Myrrh line is left out. It's the best line.

[ChildOfTheSettingSun]

Merry Christmas everyone!

@MeangitarMingoMango Wow!

Now is the time to sing, envision, enact, and retell a story of God coming unexpectedly in the worst of times as a baby born poor, born homeless, born to die that all human life might be transformed and dreams made real. It's God's Good News—but only because we already know the story of Easter.

@TheCobalt100 did you really search this song up, or just click on it, just so you can say that whole paragraph. did you really had to be that one atheist guy that likes to go on Christian related videos and make fun of christians. i don't understand, if you don't believe in some thing, just don't bother with it . don't go and crush peoples Christmas spirit's

[100PercentKayo]
