<p>Saw you never, in the twilight,<br>
When the sun had left the skies,<br>
Up in heav&#8217;n the clear stars shining<br>
Through the gloom, like silver eyes?<br>
So of old the wise men, watching,<br>
Saw a little stranger star,<br>
And they knew the King was given,<br>
And they followed it from afar.</p>
<p>Heard you never of the story<br>
How they crossed the desert wild,<br>
Journeyed on by plain and mountain,<br>
Till they found the holy Child?<br>
How they opened all their treasure,<br>
Kneeling to that infant King;<br>
Gave the gold and fragrant incense,<br>
Gave the myrrh in offering?</p>
<p>Know ye not that lowly Baby<br>
Was the bright and morning Star?<br>
He Who came to light the Gentiles,<br>
And the darkened isles afar?<br>
And we, too, may seek His cradle;<br>
There our hearts&#8217; best treasures bring;<br>
Love, and faith, and true devotion<br>
For our Savior, God and King.</p>
