We Three Kings
The Childrens Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly Father
This blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
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
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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Worshipping God most high
O, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
The Children's Choir's song, "We Three Kings," is a traditional Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The first stanza begins with "God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay," which is a call for the listeners to be joyful and not discouraged. The song then goes on to remind us of the reason for the season, which is the birth of Christ. The second stanza speaks of an angel who appeared to shepherds in Bethlehem to announce the birth of Jesus. The angel tells the shepherds that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and was born to save all of humanity. The third stanza speaks of the wise men who followed a star to find the baby Jesus. The wise men brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to honor the newborn king. The final stanza speaks of the glory of Christ, and how he is both king and God, who sacrificed everything to save humanity. The song ends with a repetition of the first stanza, calling on listeners to be merry and not dismayed.
