Shepherds came, their praises bringing
Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 The Wise Men Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer —
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found, and known, and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendour,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name.
Joy of each day, our Song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were:
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Used With Tune: NEUMARK
Wise men, they came to look for wisdom

King of all creation,
came he to a world forlorn,
the Lord of every nation,
the Lord of every nation.
2 Christ from heaven descending low
comes, on earth a stranger;
ox and ass their owner know;
becradled in the manger,
becradled in the manger.
3 Herod then with fear was filled:
"A prince," he said, "in Jewry!"
All the little boys he killed
at Bethlem in his fury,
at Bethlem in his fury.
4 Now may Mary's son, who came
so long ago to love us,
lead us all with hearts aflame
unto the joys above us,
unto the joys above us.
5 Omega and Alpha he!
Let the organ thunder,
while the choir with peals of glee
doth rend the air asunder,
doth rend the air asunder. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: German carol, 15th century

reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.

and all our substance and our strength receive;
sustain us by thy faith and by thy power,
and give us strength in every trying hour.

no harshness hast thou and no bitterness:
O grant to us the grace we find in thee,
that we may dwell in perfect unity.

our faith is built upon thy promise free;
Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
that in thy strength we evermore endure. Used With Tune: SONG 24 Text Sources: French Psalter, Strassburg, 1545
