We Three Kings of Orient Are…
…probably confused as to why they keep getting pulled into billboard campaigns like these.
More information? Here for the American Atheists billboard. Here for the Save the Date/WeCanKnow.com campaign. Here for wiki info on the Biblical Magi/Kings/Wisemen. And after the jump – awesome We Three Kings video from Guitar Hero, the lyrics to We Three Kings (Traditional) and as always your thoughts. Do either of these campaigns offend? Are either appropriate for Christmas?
Personally – I wish Christmas would be left for celebrating and spending time with the people you like regardless of what they believe. Also – Save the Date folks – if you have anything cool you would like to donate to NOSVC on say May 20th – feel free. I am assuming you won’t need it. So land, cash, video games, Lego sets – not at all picky. Just don’t come looking for on the 22nd with a new date. It doesn’t work that way.
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 rein
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
Pray’r and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, 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
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes of 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
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav’n replies
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light
