“Wise men, oh, you wise men
                Have you travelled very 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’re travelling on to Bethlehem.
               Are we going the right way?”

                    3rd wise man

            “There is a reason why we’ve come
                  With some gifts we must bestow –
            In Bethlehem a babe’s been born,
                 God’s son, we’ll have you know.”

    

                     2nd person

            “Travel on then with your camels
               Bethlehem is straight ahead
            And you’ll find the baby Jesus
               Sleeping in his bed.”

                     1st narrator
                      and 1st angel

            The three wise men, on camels
                Were quickly on their way,
            But they listened to the angels
               “Don’t return this way.”

                     2nd angel

            “For King Herod is a jealous man.
               And the child he will destroy.
            So go back along another route
               And say nothing of this boy.”

                                         

                    2nd narrator

            They soon arrived in Bethlehem
               Found Jesus, where he lay
            They left for him their precious gifts
               But returned another way.
