Thread Name: Tune Req: songs about the magi
Subject: RE: Tune Req: any songs about the magi?
Here's one that's new to me: My King and My God (Wise Men's Song) .


The first verse of the bluegrass song Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem is:

O beautiful Star Of Bethlehem,
Shining afar through shadows dim,
Giving the light for those who've long gone on
And guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay,
Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem, shine on.




The 16th C. Latin carol "Personet Hodie" [which, BTW, is a track by Telynor on the new Mudcat seasonal CD "This Is Us: Until The Dark Time Ends"] has a verse about the magi.
There are several singable English versions/translations of the Latin carol too.
