When Wise Men Came Seeking

Author: Richard Slater Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7345 Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: When wise men came seeking for Jesus from far Lyrics: 1. When wise men came seeking for Jesus from far, With rich gifts to greet Him and led by a star, They found in a stable the Savior of men, A manger His cradle, so poor was He then. 2. Though laid in a manger, He came from a throne, On earth though a stranger, in Heaven He was known. How lowly, how gracious His coming to earth! His love my love kindles to joy in His birth.

Composer of "NORMANDY CAROL" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
