Three wise men set off, starting out from afar,
They crossed over deserts, lead by a star;
They made their way swiftly, for they hoped to find
The longed-for Messiah, who'd lead all mankind.
They sought for a king, who'd be strong and would reign,
Over all people, on mountain or plain.
The result of their quest must have seen seemed to them stranger
For they found not a king but a babe in a manger.
But they gave him their gifts they'd decided to bring,
Though they were originally brought for a king.
Gold formed a part, there was frankincense too,
Together with myrrh, and then they withdrew,
And warned in a dream departed in haste,
Before their location by Herod was traced.
