From the Gospel of Matthew chapter 2 (King James version):

1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

7Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 12And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

A video to celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord. Epiphany means: appearance or insight. The coming of the Three Kings, or Wise Men, or Magi, from the East was a sign that Christ was born for all people. The Kings come to offer their gifts to him: gold, incense and myrrh. The road to Him is hard and the night is bleak, as the song tells us. But there is a star guiding them, showing the way. May that star guide us too, to where we can offer our hearts to the King in a crib.

Lyrics:

Sing the story of the glory
in stable cold and dark came the miracle
Wonderful miracle, the redeemer of us all

Bleak the night as we come to worship you
Guard us on our way
Hard the road as we bring our gifts to you
Help us on we pray

Shining like silver the stars in the sky lead us to Bethlehem
Streaming from heaven the angels on high point us to Bethlehem

Bleak the night as we try to follow you
Guard us on our way
Hard the road as bring our lives to you
Help us on we pray

Shining like silver the stars in the sky lead us to Bethlehem

Streaming from heaven the angels on high point us to Bethlehem

Sing the story of the glory in stable cold and dark came the miracle,
Wonderful miracle, the redeemer of us all

Sing the story the wonderful miracle
Sing the glory of love evermore
