They came from near, 

They came from far 

Following a distant star to where He lay 

Not being sure of what it meant, but 

Knowing it was heaven sent 

They made their way 

And the creatures gathered 'round 

And didn't make a sound 

And the angels cried. 

The angels knew what was to come 

The reason God had sent His Son 

From up above 

It filled their hearts with joy to see and 

Knowing of His destiny 

Came tears of love 

I've often thought about that night 

And wondered if they realized 

That star so bright 

Was sent to tell all the land 

The Son of God would soon become 

The Son of Man 

And the angels cried . . . .
