Come with the Wise Men

lyricist: Burton Winslow, 1903
Composer: Isaac Meredith

Come with the wise men! led by any sign—

This the ho­ly pro­mised One

babe

yet Lord di­vine!

Wonderful strang­er from the courts ab­ove

In the time ap­point­ed

God’s gift of love.

Homage we ren­der

Thou king and de­fend­er!

Kneeling with wise men great

at love’s ho­ly shrine.

All lands shall own Thee!

As Lord shall en­throne Thee!

Thine is the king­dom

and the glo­ry Thine!

Seek with the wise men! seek

and ye shall find—

Seeking all the world He came

Sav­ior of man­kind!

Wise men are seek­ers

they the tru­ly wise—

See! the Sought for ag­es be­fore you lies!

Kneel with the wise men! ’tis the Lord of all

At whose feet the saints above now ad­or­ing fall!

Offer your rar­est

own Him as your Lord;

His a roy­al serv­ice with great re­ward.
