Little stars that twin­kle in the hea­vens’ blue,
I have oft­en won­dered if you ev­er knew,
How there rose one like you, lead­ing wise old men
From the East, thro’ Ju­dah, down to Beth­le­hem.

Did you see the cost­ly pre­sents they had brought?
Did you see the sta­ble they in won­der sought?
Did you see the wor­ship ten­der­ly they paid
To that stran­ger Ba­by in the man­ger laid?

Did you hear the mo­thers plead­ing thro’ their tears
For the babes that He­rod slew the com­ing years?
Did you see how Jo­seph, warned of God in dreams,
Hurried into Egypt guid­ed by your beams?

Did you watch the Sav­ior all those years of strife?
Did you know, for sin­ners, how He gave His life?
Little stars that twin­kle in the hea­vens’ blue,
All you saw of Je­sus, how I wish I knew.
