Tune: Was Lebet, Was Shwebet
(\'O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness\')
Matthew 2 v.1-12 parts
********
From the east came wise men
Did look for the Christ-child then
They did hear words of prophecy again
That you Bethlehem small
From there the Lord one would call
To be Governor, Ruler over all
He would rule God\'s people
His reign be o\'er Israel
And message for Jews and Gentiles to tell
That He would Saviour be
Coming to us, to set free
All shall adore Him, to Him bend the knee
The wise men star followed
It hovered o\'er ground hallowed
For \'twas at place where young Christ-child abode
Their rejoicing was great
They found holy place not late
Exceeding great joy theirs, high celebrate (celebration)
To young child with parents
Mary and Joseph\'s presence
They to Jesus gave gifts, gold, frankincense
And myrrh, precious treasures
Worshipping Him, great pleasures
Their desires fulfilled with firm endeavours
