united round the table.

Hear what peaceful music rings;
Where the flocks in you confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs!

Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure;
You do ever lead your own,
In the love of joys unknown.

Wise Men, They Came to Look
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: James 3:17 First Line: Wise men, they came to look for wisdom Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer--
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found, and known, and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendor,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name.
Joy of each day, our Song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were.
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Topics: Epiphany Season Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT
