They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the East, beyond them far; 
And to the earth it gave good light; 
And so it continued both day and night. 

This star drew nigh to the North West, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, 
And there it did stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. 

Then enter'd in there Wise Men three Full rev'rently on bended knee, And 
offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
