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."
