They came from near, they came from far
Following a distant star to where he'd lay
Not being sure of what it meant
But knowing it was heaven sent, they made their wayAnd the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound and the angels criedThe angels knew what was to come
The reason God had sent His Son from up above
It filled their hearts with joy to see
And knowing of His destiny, came tears of loveAnd the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound and the angels criedI've often thought about that night
And wondered if they realized that star so bright
Was sent to tell all the land
The Son of God would soon become the Son of Man
And the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound and the angels cried
And the angels cried
And the angels cried
