Behold the Lord, the mighty one has come.
And kingship is in his grasp and power and dominion.
Sound the drum.
Shout aloud your opinion.

Then Herod summoned the wise men privately.
He asked them the exact date on which the star had appeared.
Thus Christ was manifested to the gentiles publicly .
To this our own insights are geared

God used the wise men to make clear his vision.
Now he needs us too to help this task.
Are we extending his dominion.
If not we will be taken to task.

We all have a role to play .
Great or small we cannot say.

……

We are all wise men
Coming from far to worship
That is now our task
