They came from near

They came from far

Following a distant 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 wandered if they realized

That stars 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 angels cried

And the angels cried
