Three Wise Men wix.jpg
Three Wise Men (The)

1st person and 1st wise man

​

'Tell me now, you three wise men,
     Have you travelled far?'
'Oh yes, we’ve travelled many days
      Following that star.'

​

2nd wise man

​

'We’ve travelled over desert sand 
     By night and by the day.
We want to get to Bethlehem.
    Are we going the right way?'

​

3rd wise man

​

'There’s a reason why we’re going there:
      We’ve gifts we must bestow.
A babe’s been born in Bethlehem - 
     God’s son, we’ll have you know.'

​

2nd person

​

'Well, travel on along this road.
     The town lies straight ahead
And in a stable you will find
     The baby in his bed.'

​

1st Narrator

​

The three wise men and camels 
     Went quickly on their way,
But angels came to warn them  
    To return another way.

​

1st and 2nd Angel

​

'King Herod is a jealous man
    And Jesus he’ll destroy.'
'Go back along another route.
    Say nothing of this boy.'

​

2nd Narrator

​

When they arrived in Bethlehem
   They found where Jesus lay.
And, after leaving precious gifts,
     Returned a different way.
