Verse 2
They looked up and saw a star,
As it shone in the east beyond them far.
And to the earth, it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Verse 3
And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far,
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Verse 4
The star drew nigh to the north-west,
O`er Bethlehem it took it`s rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Verse 5
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Verse 6
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
Who hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with His blood mankind hath bought.
