('Earth has many a noble city')
Matthew 2 v.1-12 parts
*********
Wise men travelled from the east, came
To Jerusalem, the same
Saying, Where He born that is King
Of Jews, Him we worship bring
To Beth'lem they followed bright star
Had led them from country far
Went before them 'til it rested
At place of the Christ-child blessed
Star that caused exceeding great joy
As they journey did deploy
At the house saw Jesus, Mary
Offered their worship humbly
Precious gifts, myrrh, frankincense, gold
Here the story now retold
Warned in a dream they did discern
Not to King Herod return
