MTTCC #60 Theme is We Three Kings Christmas caroling hymn with a DT CALL

  Greetings! Welcome to MTTCC's Theme #60!

Theme #60 requires We Three Kings song related inspiration. 

3 wise men, 3 gifts presented to Jesus, 3 camels, star, etc.

1 We three kings of Orient are;
bearing gifts we traverse afar,
field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.

Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.

Lyrics & Music: John H. Hopkins, Jr.

DT member Becca suggested the theme.
