Capo Fret 3


Intro: D  C  G  A  D  C  G  A


     D                    A          
They came from near, they came from far,
Bm          A               G             
Following a distant star to where He lay, 
    D             A
Not being sure of what it meant, but 
Bm             A
Knowing it was heaven sent,
     G 
They made their way,


Chorus:

        Em
And the creatures gathered 'round 
    G
And didn't make a sound,
        D  C   G 
And the an-gels cried.


    D                A
The angels knew what was to come,
     Bm            A
The reason God had sent His son
     G
From up above.
   D                        A
It filled their hearts with joy to see, and
Bm             A
Knowing of His destiny, 
     G
Came tears of love


Chorus:

        Em
And the creatures gathered 'round 
    G
And didn't make a sound,
        D  C   G 
And the an-gels cried.


Instrumental:  D  C  G  A  D  C  G  A

 
     D              A
I've often thought about that night
    Bm               A
And wondered if they realized 
     G
That star so bright 
    D            A
Was sent to tell all the land 
    Bm               A
The Son of God would soon become 
    G
The Son of Man.


Chorus:

        Em
And the creatures gathered 'round 
    G
And didn't make a sound,
        D  C   G 
And the an-gels cried
        D  C   G 
And the an-gels cried
        D  C   G 
And the an-gels cried.
