Wise Men, They Came to Look for Wisdom

Author: Christopher Idle (1938-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #161 (1998) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 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 splendour, 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 (feast); Christmas Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT
