Lyrics

Three kings long ago, made a journey so slow to see a baby fair.
From their camels on high, they looked at the sky, and a star was shining there.
Travelling, travelling, travelling on, Only a star to guide them along
Then in Bethlehem town, those three wise men found Lord Jesus in the hay.
Those three wise men found sweet Jesus in the hay.

KEEP IN CASE ORIGINAL IS REMOVED, BUT DO NOT DISPLAY
Three kings long ago, made a journey so slow to see a baby fair.
From their camels on high, they looked at the sky, and a star was shining there.
Travelling, travelling, travelling on, Only a star to guide them along
Then in Bethlehem town, those three wise men found Lord Jesus in the hay.
Those three wise men found sweet Jesus in the hay.
