Riding out across the desert

Riding out across the d-e-sert, travelling over
sandy plains,Comes a com-pan-y of wise
men, moving stead-il-y along their way. Leaving
all their friends be-hi-nd them, guided by a star
so bright,Now they've got to keep on
go-ing, must not let the star get out of sight.

Ri-ding through the d-e-sert, gently the wise
men go,Onward to the King, who, was promised
long ago But they don't know where they're
going to f-ind himThere's many towns to search,
so they'll keep on following the star,For it
will take them to his place of birth.
5
Wise men on their desert j-our-ney, travelled
many miles so far,Though they're getting tired
and wear-y, town of Bethlehem is not too
far. How they long to worship J-e-sus, and
honour him with royal gifts,Hearts are full of
joy and won-der, as they're searching for the new
born King.
