This is pure fangirling.
I'm going for a more upbeat, rousing, playful version of this song, like what a minstrel might play in Gondor. ;) Which is actually the only version I'd even heard until recently, because of how Veggietales did it. Look it up if you're interested!
He is come, King Elessar!
Play the oboe and bagpipes merrily!
He is come, King Elessar!
Sing we all of a Strider wild!
.
Through long ages of the past,
Wand'ring to defend the people!
Through long ages of the past,
Now the time has come at last!
.
Oh how gentle, oh how wise
Is this wielder of Anduril!
Oh how gentle, oh how wise,
Gracious he of stormy eyes!
.
He is come, King Elessar!
Play the oboe and bagpipes merrily!
He is come, King Elessar,
Sing we all of a healer mild!
.
Through long ages of the past,
Hobbits have foretold his coming!
Through long ages of the past,
Said they, "Till the king comes back!"
.
Aragorn of Rivendell,
Strength and healing in his hands!
Aragorn of Rivendell,
The uniter of the lands!
.
He is come, King Elessar!
Play the oboe and bagpipes merrily!
He is come, King Elessar!
Sing we all of a Hopeful child!
.
Through long ages of the past,
Patient still he waits for Arwen!
Through long ages of the past,
Now the time has come at last!
.
He is come, King Elessar!
Play the oboe and bagpipes merrily!
He is come, King Elessar,
Shining with his Evenstar!
