"We Three Kings" was written by the American Episcopal clergyman and hymnodist John Henry Hopkins Jr. (1820-1891) for an 1857 Christmas pageant for his nieces and nephews in New York City, but did not appear in print until his "Carols, Hymns, and Songs" in 1863. It has become a classic seasonal favourite and is unusual for being one of few Christmas carols written in a minor key.
