They came from near, they came from far
Following a distance star to where He lay
Not being sure of what it mean, but
Knowing it was their wayAnd the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels criedThe angels knew what was to come
The reason God had sent His son
From up above
It filled their hearts with joy to see and
Knowing of His destiny
Came tears of loveI've often thought about that night
And wondered if they realized
That star so bright
Was sent to tell all the land
The Son of God would soon become
The Son of ManAnd the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels criedAnd the angels cried
And the angels cried
