I loved the words to one of the hymns we sang in Church today (despite the "stranger" reference to the baby Jesus...which is a bit odd in my book). Especially the third verse - let us all be wise men and women who still seek Him.
With wondr'ing awe the wise men saw
The star in heaven springing,
And with delight, in peaceful night,
They heard the angels singing:
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
By light of star they traveled far
To seek the lowly manger,
A humble bed wherein was laid
The wondrous little Stranger.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
And still is found the world around,
The old and hallowed story,
And still is sung in ev'ry tongue,
The angel's song of glory:
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
The heavenly star its rays afar
On ev'ry land is throwing,
And shall not cease til holy peace
In all the earth is growing
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
With wondr'ing awe the wise men saw
The star in heaven springing,
And with delight, in peaceful night,
They heard the angels singing:

A humble bed wherein was laid
The wondrous little Stranger.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
And still is found the world around,

And still is sung in ev'ry tongue,

And shall not cease til holy peace

Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
My roommate created a superhero named The Wondrous Stranger. It was hilarious.
