We Three Kings - Cover - Christian Music Videos

pianopounding

An off-the-cuff arrangement of that Christmas classic, We Three Kings (John Henry & Jr. Hopkins)

The picture is a lie: this song contains no piano (except that it was still performed on my digital piano).

Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX in a single take with no post-processing.

------------------------------

This song often gets a bad rap for its words. If you read past verse 1, the meaning is actually quite deep as it speaks to the symbolism of the gifts.

We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts; we traverse afar

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 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

Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a Deity nigh

Prayer and praising, all men raising

Worship Him God on high

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume

Breathes a life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

Sealed in the stone cold tomb

Glorious now, behold Him arise

King and God and sacrifice

Alleluia, alleluia

Earth to Heav'n replies
