Wise men in the East, we’re told,
Did a wondrous star behold;
Gem of Heaven’s diadem,
’Twas the Star of Bethlehem.
They beheld it from afar,
Knew it as their guiding star;
To the Christ Child leading them;
Blessèd Star of Bethlehem.
Gifts they brought of wealth untold,
Myrrh and frankincense and gold;
And they knelt their vows to pay,
To the King on this glad day.
