1.
We have not come like eastern kings,
with gifts upon the pommel lying.
Our hands are empty, and we came
because we heard a baby crying.
2.
We have not come like questing knights,
with fiery swords and banners flying.
We heard a call and hurried here;
the call was like a baby crying.
3.
But we have come with open hearts,
from places where the torch is dying.
We seek a manger and a cross,
because we heard a baby crying.
By Philip Britts (1917-1949)
