They came from near,they came from far,
|
Following a distance star to where He lay,
|
Not being sure of what it meant,
|
But knowing it was heaven sent,
|
They made their way.
|
|
And the creatures gathered 'round,
|
And didn't make a sound,
|
And the angels cried.
|
|
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.
|
|
And the creatures gathered 'round,
|
And didn't make a sound,
|
And the angels cried.
|
|
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.
|
|
And the creatures gathered 'round,
|
And didn't make a sound,
|
And the angels cried,
|
|
And the Angel Cried,
|
And the Angel Cried,
|
And the Angel Cried.
