4, 5 are A, 6, 7, are B, 8, 9 are C

The wisemen begin with their backs to the audience on the far side of B.
A, B, and C can be male or female, but some mix is desired for tone quality. The three wise men probably should be men.
A, B, and C stay in one place and can use music stands if desired. If possible raise B on boxes or some platform.

7 -- man has desired to reestablish the relationship between
A -- God
C -- and Man.

B -- Wisemen throughout all time,
A -- Enos
C -- Abraham
B -- Moses
C -- David
A -- Isaiah
ALL -- And more!
6 -- All desired to know the Name of the Lord.
7 -- But He would not let it be known.
4 -- For the fulness of the time had not yet come,
5 -- God had not yet sent forth his Son, made of a woman,
A -- made under the law,
8 -- For the law was part of the journey.
B -- The journey to knowledge.
A -- The journey to eternity.
C -- The journey to God.

A -- For the law made nothing perfect,
5 -- but the bringing in of a better hope did;
6 -- by the which we draw nigh unto God.
ALL -- Wise men draw nigh unto God.
