We Wise Men

We Wise Men

We magi of astrology are

Possessing gifts, we travelled afar

Grass and dirt, desert and fields

Following a bright star.

O star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Eastward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy perfect light.

Humbly bowed down at the king

Presented gold, myrrh and frankincense

God forever, King forever

Over creation to reign.

O star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Eastward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy perfect light.

Divinely warned in a dream

These wise men new the scene

Changing their course, quickly

Back to their own country.

O star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Eastward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy perfect light.
