What did the wise men’s star-light show?
When did that star begin to glow?
Where did it point to earth below?
2
Was He King when He was new born?
Was it late night or early morn?
Why no brass or curly ram’s horn?
3
Who is this wee, new Jewish Lad?
What? The carpenter’s not His Dad?
Who IS the Father now so glad?
4
Why were the religionists wrong?
When they had waited oh, so long?
What could this mean for Israel’s throng?
5
Who is this Who’s crying “out loud”
Why Bethlehem’s huge taxing crowd?
What? This portents Rome’s coming shroud?
6
Where’s the Lad to see His “first light”
Where? A lone candle in the night?
Why has God allowed “such a sight”?
7
Who’s Mary carried in her girth?
Who is this King of lowly birth?
Who is here born, devoid of mirth?
8
What will the next days, months, years bring?
Who will end His life some, sad spring?
Who’s born tonight will end death’s sting?
