They D came from near, they A came from far,
Bm Following a A distant star to G where He lay,
Not D being sure of A what it meant, but
Bm Knowing it was A heaven sent,
They G made their way,
Chorus:
And the Em creatures gathered 'round
And G didn't make a sound,
And the D ang C els G cried.
Verse 2:
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.
Verse 3:
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.
Alan Jackson
