John Henry Hopkins, Jr. wrote both the words and music of "We three kings of Orient are" in 1857. The song was first published six years later in his collection entitled Carols, Hymns and Songs (1863).
Hopkins was born October 28, 1820 in Pittsburgh, PA and received his education at the University of Vermont (BS in 1839, MA in 1845). He continued his theological training at General Theological Seminary in New York City (1850). Shortly thereafter (1855-57), he became the first teacher of church music at the seminary.
Rev. Hopkins founded the Church Journal of the Episcopal Church and served as its editor for 16 years (1853-68). In 1872 he was ordained and served as rector of Trinity Church, Plattsburg, NY (1872-76) and of Christ Church, Williamsport, PA (1876-87).
Hopkins died August 14, 1891 in Troy, NY.
