Matthew 2:9-11 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.

LED TO WORSHIP

Sages from the East afar,
when they saw this wondrous star,
went to find the king of nations
and to offer their oblations
unto him as Lord and King,
unto him as Lord and King.

Him they found in Bethlehem;
yet he wore no diadem.
They but saw a maiden lowly
with an infant pure and holy
resting in her loving arms,
resting in her loving arms.

Guided by the star, they found
him whose praise the ages sound.
We too have a star to guide us
that forever will provide us
with the light to find our Lord,
with the light to find our Lord.

The Bible is our star, God's Word which leads us to our Heavenly King.
