Christmas Carol

1924

Cold and starlight was the night,
Softly the wind was blowing,
When three wise men, came into sight,
Unto the stable going.

They had come from miles afar,
To gaze on the babe so pure
They were led my the guiding star,
That stopped o’er the stable door.

Quietly they enter in,
With an astonished stare,
They had expected to find the child of God,
Wrapped in costly raiment rare.

See them kneeling at the manger,
Quietly in prayer,
Now they offer with devotion
Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
