Far from the earth, in a galaxy's reaches,
Light from a star makes a mark in the sky;
Ancients interpret, discern what it teaches;
Go to the where and rejoice at the why.
There in a place far from wealth and from power,
Answers are found to the sign in the sky;
Little to mark them and nothing more sure
Than a parent's devotion and one baby's cry.
High in the story are gifts gladly given -
Gold, myrrh and frankincense, gifts for a King.
Lord in our praise we would honour what's given,
Give of ourselves for the sign and the King.
