They came from near they came from far
Bm          A7              G
Following a distant star to where he lay
    D7            A7
Not being sure of what it meant
    Bm             A7               G
But knowing it was heaven sent they made their way

And the angels cried

The angels knew what was to come

The reason God had sent His Son from up above
   D7                       A7
It filled their hearts with joy to see
    Bm             A7           G
And knowing of His destiny came tears of love

     D7            A7
I've often thought about that night
    Bm               A7            G
And wondered if they realized that star so bright
    D            A7
Was sent to tell all the land
    Bm               A7              G
The Son of God would soon become the Son of man

        Em
And the creatures gathered round
    G
And didn't make a sound
        D7  C  G
And the angels cried
        D7  C   G
And the angels cried
        D7  C  G
And the angels cried
