Verse 1:
   D                A
They came from near, they came from far,
     Bm       A               G
Following a distant star to where He lay.
   D                      A
Not being sure of what it meant, but
   Bm                  A
Knowing it was Heaven sent,
    G
They made thier way.

And the creatures gathered 'round

Bm             A
Knowing of His destiny,
     G
Came tears of love.

I've often thought about that night,
Bm              A                  G
And wondered if they realized that star so bright.
D                A
Was sent to tell all the land,
Bm                   A
The Son of God would soon become
    G
The Son of man.

Chorus:
        D   C  G
