Over mountains and valleys it led than each night
A star of most radiant light
The wise men rejoiced as they journeyed afar
To behold such a beautiful star

Chorus:
When they saw the star they rejoiced with great joy...
When they saw the star they rejoiced...
When they saw the star they rejoiced with great joy
They rejoiced with exceeding great joy...


Chorus…

Other saw the star but they followed it not
To them it would come and would pass
The wise men kept trusting with all of their hearts
That the star would find the Baby at last

Chorus:
When they saw the star they rejoiced with great joy...
When they saw the star they rejoiced...
When they saw the star they rejoiced with great joy
They rejoiced with exceeding great joy...


(Interlude…)
(Key Change…)
Great Joy…

Chorus:
When they saw the star they rejoiced with great joy...
When they saw the star they rejoiced...
When they saw the star they rejoiced with great joy
They rejoiced with exceeding great joy...


Other saw the star but they followed it not
To them it would come and would pass
The wise men kept trusting with all of their hearts
That the star would find the Baby at last

Chorus:
When they saw the star they rejoiced with great joy...
When they saw the star they rejoiced...
When they saw the star they rejoiced with great joy
They rejoiced with exceeding great joy... ///


They rejoiced with exceeding great joy...

Great joy... x 3

Great joy... (Shout)
