We Three Kings
"We Three Kings" was written by John Henry Hopkins, an American rector in the Episcopalian Church, in 1857. Written for Epiphany, Hopkins tells the story of the three kings, or magi, who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing expensive presents of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Traditionally, Melchior brings gold, Caspar brings frankincense, and Balthazar bring myrrh. See the singers and score in the above picture gallery.
