    Here’s my translation, arrangement and performance of the Christmas carol “We Three Kings (of Orient Are)” / “The Quest of the Magi” in Old English. It was written by John Henry Hopkins Jr. in 1857.

    Lyrics:
    Wē þrī cyningas of ēastheorran,
    mid ġifum wē faraþ feorran.
    Ofer felda
    ġehwelċ ġelda
    folgaþ ġeonum steorran.
    On Hlāfhūse cyning ġeboren,
    þurh gold is mīn āþ Him ġesworen.
    Cyning ǣfre,
    ne biþ nǣfre
    His cynedо̄m forloren.
    Þū wundorsteorra nihtlīċa,
    Cynesteorra brihtlīċa.
    West þū lǣdest,
    ġit þū þæt dēst.
    Līht Hine, þū rihtlīċa!
    Wē þrī cyningas of ēastheorran,
    mid ġifum wē faraþ feorran.
    Ofer felda
    ġehwelċ ġelda
    folgaþ ġeonum steorran.
    Rēcels bringe iċ on þæt set,
    forþām stо̄r biþ Gode ġemet,
    Frēawine
    wēorðian Hine
    on hēahnesse folc hēt.
    Þū wundorsteorra nihtlīċa,
    Cynesteorra brihtlīċa.
    West þū lǣdest,
    ġit þū þæt dēst.
    Līht Hine, þū rihtlīċa!
    Iċ mid myrran biterum cwо̄m,
    hēo bodaþ on līfe glо̄m.
    Sorg and sice,
    dēaþ for swice,
    sēо̄ rо̄d wæs Godes dо̄m.
    Þū wundorsteorra nihtlīċa,
    Cynesteorra brihtlīċa.
    West þū lǣdest,
    ġit þū þæt dēst.
    Līht Hine, þū rihtlīċa!
    Hwæt! Nū sē þrymfæsta ārīst!
    Cyning, God and lāclīċ Crīst,
    Heofonas singaþ Alleluia,
    ēac eorðe þæt word ċīst.

    Thank Skaldic Bard! This is one of my favorite Christmas songs! Our family (having Catalan ancestry) has a tradition where we receive our presents on January 6 (Three Kings Day) rather than Christmas Day. I didn't expect "We Three Kings" in Old English to be one of our presents this year! Thank you!

    Dearest, have been loving God bless you merry gentlemen for a year now (so much so it was my second most played song on Spotify this year) now I have another childhood classic to listen to in old English, sung by no other than your talent.
    I like the fact you went again for a slightly darker tone, which I think is the correct idea for someone like you.
    I also think what you did with the pictures of the king and half screen lyrics was really great and novel.

I am trying to teach myself the language with Mitchell and Robinson's "Guide to Old English," and on p. 31, par. 64 (8th ed.), it says that we use the weak form when the adj. stands alone ("the man is old") or just with a noun ("old men"), while the strong is used when the adj. follows the article ("the/that old man") or a possessive ("my old friend"). (The latter seems to me to correspond to the attributive position of Greek grammar, while the former resembles the predicate position.) Where does definitivity fit in all this?

    Am I the first or only one to read the Skaldic Bard's note in the opening slides of this video? Wow, I must be more unusual than I thought... That makes me a "hæleth", apparently... Did you mean "a hero," Bard? Because I already am the other definition ("young man"). Haha, thanks, I enjoyed it!

    I am enjoying your work. But I would like to know both how you you've been learning the old languages and where I can do so as well. Are you taking courses at a university, using online resources, or working under a tutor? And where do you get those faunts from? I do D&D those are killer looking.

    I have no formal education in Old English whatsoever, all my knowledge is from Wiktionary, Reddit, and your videos, and here's my attempt at translating the beginning:
    Merry Christmas to you all
    If you can read this,
    then you are healed
    ??? me, give you might/strength!
    Now, happy listening!
