Lyrics
Saw ye never in the twi light, When the sun had left the skies,
Up in heav’n the clear stars shining Thro’ the gloom like loving eyes?
So of old the wise men watching, Sawa blazing stranger star,
And they knew the King was given, And they followed it from far.
Heard ye never of the story, How they crossed the desert wild,
Journeyed on by plain and mountain, Till they found the Holy Child?
How they open’d all their treasure, Kneeling to that Infant King,
Gave the gold and fragrant incense, Gave the myrrhin offering?
Know ye not that lowly Baby Was the bright and Morning Star,
He who came to light the Gentiles, And the darkened isles afar?
And we too may seek His cradle, There our hearts’ best treasures bring,
Love and faith and true devotion, For our Savior, God, and King.
