Led by the Star

When the King was born

on that Christ­mas morn

In the hum­ble Beth­l’hem town

Over lands afar shone the Christ­mas star

Flinging rays of glo­ry down.

There were wise men three

ov­er hill and lea

Who be­held the pro­mised sign;

But with joy they knew its mean­ing true

Told the Christ Child’s joy di­vine.

Led by the star

The wise men came from their homes afar

Seeking the Child

Whom men and an­gels sing.

So they went their way

on that Christ­mas day

Seeking out the new­born King

Bearing gifts so rare for the Christ Child fair

As the of­fer­ing they would bring.

And they came at last

with their jour­ney past

And they knelt around His bed

And the Christ­mas star they’d fol­lowed far

Laid a crown on ev­ery head.
