Some men from the east were looking at the sky

Counting all the stars as they went by

When they spotted one that shone so bright

That they gazed in wonder all through the night

 

They thought for a while about what they had seen

And asked one another what did it mean

“A new king is coming mighty is he”

This was for certain they did agree

 

The King is coming

He’s getting near,

You had better get ready,

Because he’s coming here.

 

They packed their toothbrush, soap and flannel

Threw it in a bag and jumped on a camel

The desert road was lonely and blighted

But they kept on going they were so excited

 

The star kept moving it wouldn’t stay still

It led them along to a city on a hill

They’d travelled through the night and turned up late

By the time they got there the guards had shut the gate

 

The King is coming

He’s getting near,

You had better get ready,

Because he’s coming here.
