Exceedingly Great Joy

At Christmas, the story of the Wise Men will always be told,

Their presents to the Saviour included a present of gold.

The tough journey they undertook spoke of their strength,

To see the Baby King and to offer worship was their intent!

They set out on their journey, inspired by the Christmas Star,

They did not mind the long journey; they had to travel afar.

They lost sight of the Christmas Star for just a little while,

That did not help their spirit, for they had travelled many a mile.

When they saw the Christmas Star again, wonderful joy was felt,

This was the greatest joy ever; their hope and trust were met!

The Christmas Star was God’s special revelation to the Wise Men,

For all their knowledge, the gift of Revelation was the greatest gem.

Without God revealing His truth, all their wisdom was in vain,

They could not have known that the Christ was born to reign.

Great was their joy because they now had true faith in God,

In reverence, they presented their costly gifts to the little Lord!
