Verse 1: 
    D                A           
They came from near, they came from far, 
Bm          A                G              
Following a distant star to where He lay,  
    D                      A 
Not being sure of what it meant, but  
Bm                     A 
Knowing it was heaven sent, 
     G  
They made their way, 
 
 
        Em 
And the creatures gathered 'round  
    G 
And didn't make a sound, 
        D  C   G  
And the angels cried. 
 
 
Verse 2: 
  D             A 
The angels knew what was to come, 
Bm             A                G 
The reason God had sent His son from up above 
D                 A 
It filled their hearts with joy to see, and                 
Bm             A 
Knowing of His destiny,  
G 
Came tears of love. 
 
Chorus 
 
Repeat intro  
 
 
Verse 3: 
   D               A 
I've often thought about that night  
Bm              A                  G 
And wondered if they realized that star so bright 
D                A 
Was sent to tell all the land  
Bm                   A                 
The Son of God would soon become 
G 
The son of man
