The Three Wise Women

Once upon a time there were three wise women, One young, one middle-aged and one old They demonstrated trust in God from the beginning Yet their stories are seldom told. Every year we sing about the three wise men, Who found their way by foll'wing a star, but Now it's the turn of the three wise women - Are you ready to learn who they are? Starting with Mary, our first wise woman, So innocent and young was she When the angel appeared with a message That the mother of the Lord she would be Such was her faith in God She said, The servant of the Lord am I, Be it unto me as you've said - My soul the Lord doth magnify! Next we have Elizabeth, our second wise woman, Approaching middle age was she When, childless, having thought she was barren, She conceived most miraculously Such was her hope in God She said, So long I've waited for this day John the Baptist he came to be And for the Lord prepared the way! And finally Anna, our third wise woman, So old and so devout was she When she saw Jesus come in to the temple Where she'd waited very patiently Such was her love for God She said, He's sent his son to save us all! And her prophesy was fulfilled For, truthfully, He was the Lord! Once upon a time there were three wise women, One old, one middle-aged and one young They demonstrated trust in God from the beginning And their stories should often be sung. Where would we have been without our three wise women And their trust in God above? So What can we learn from our three wise women? To have faith, hope and, most importantly, love.
