1 When wise men came seeking for Jesus from far,
With rich gifts to greet him and led by a star,
They found in a stable the Saviour of men,
A manger his cradle, so poor was he then.

2 Though laid in a manger, he came from a throne,
On earth though a stranger, in Heaven he was known.
How lowly, how gracious his coming to earth!
His love my love kindles to joy in his birth.
