Three wise men travelled from the eastEach on their lowly laden beastFollowing a star gleaming brightIn the darkness of the nightThe star, Jesus' big birthday candle litGlowing for their very own benefitLeading them to that humble manger placeTo see the newborn Savior face to faceIn the manger's fragrant golden hayThe live, swaddled Christ child layGold, frankincense and myrrh they did bringTo celebrate the birth of a future kingThe blazing star of Bethlehem overhead
Had led them to the stable and his humble bedWith that diamond shining in the skyAngels gave praise to God most highThe one True Light, like the onward leading starAlways draws lost mankind to Him from afarThe wise men of this present day still follow HimWaiting His trumpet call up to New Jerusalem
