Out Of The East
Composer(s): Harry Noble



Out of the East there came riding, riding
Three of the wisest of men
Dust was their enemy blinding, blinding
Even the wisest of them

Wandering shepherds heard tell their story
Told in the flickering firelight
Tender light
Ever bright Christmas night

Far to the West was there shining, shining
Blazing a star in the dawn
Reverent wise men beheld it, saying
"This night a savior is born"

Into the West the went riding, riding
Following after the star
Over a quiet town shining, shining
Lighting their way from afar

Under its glory sat Mother Mary
Tenderly singing a lullaby
Hush-a-by
Don't-you-cry lullaby

Into the stable came riding, riding
Three of the wisest of men
Gifts did they bring for that Babe in manger
Gifts for the savior of men

Lo! in a manger they found Him, found Him
Bathed in the light of yon star
Gold did they bring Him and frankincense
And myrrh from a land that was far

Shepherds crept in singing praises, praises
Angels kept watch to be near to Him
Dear to Him
One with Him, praising Him

Into the East then went riding, riding
Three of the wisest of men
Found was the Babe in a lowly manger
Crowned was the Savior of men
