Song: What the Wisemen Saw

[verse1]
In Bethlehem, where Jesus Christ was born,
King Herod ruled, a land by worry torn.
Some wise men from the East came with a task,
"Where is the new King of the Jews?" they asked.

From the east up in the sky we saw his star,
And came to worship him, we've traveled far
When Herod heard of this, his heart did beat.
Afraid that this child will take away his seat.

[verse2]
With fear, and all Jerusalem likewise was vexed,
He called the priests to ask them of the text,
Prophets wrote, where Christ will have his start.
They said, "In Bethlehem, as prophets' words impart"

Then Herod called the men, a secret plan in mind,
The time the star appeared, he sought to find.
He sent them on to search with all their might,
"Go find the child and bring me word of light."

[verse3]
"That I may also go and worship there," he lied,
His wicked, jealous thoughts, he tried to hide.
The wise men left, obeying Herod's call,
And saw the star again, astounding all,

It went before them, showing them the way,
Til it stopped above the place and did stay.
When they saw the star, great joy did fill their soul,
They found the house, their journey's final goal.

[bridge]
Entered a house and saw the child so mild,
With Mary, his mother, they bowed to the child.
They kneeled and worshiped him, with no delay,
And opened treasures, their rich gifts to lay:

[verse4]
Of gold, and frankincense, and precious myrrh
To honor Christ, their King, as was inferred.
Then warned in dream, a message from on high,
Not to return to Herod, that man so sly.

They took another path to their own land,
Escaping Herod's cruel, and wicked hand.
Then Joseph also had a similar dream,
They left for Egypt to escape Harod's scheme.
