I like this challenge!
I just whipped up a sestina. I don't know how good it is, but please enjoy!
Come Nearer, Come Very Near
Come, come the wind seemed to whisper
As the wise men trudged on.
Urging them to continue on their journey
To see the ultimate reward.
They knew they must be near,
For a strange night ‘twas.
Nearly a year ago ‘twas
When these men would whisper
Late at night on when the Christ child would be near.
Now these wise men trudge on
Carrying a vast reward
Towards the King of the Jews, the reason for their journey.
Little did they know that others also had made the journey;
What a strange first night ‘twas.
Watching sheep for a small reward,
Shepherds suddenly heard a whisper.
An angel appeared and told them it was time to move on.
These shepherds marveled as a host of angels appeared to them so near.
“Come nearer, come very near.”
The young woman welcomed the strangers, “Come and end your journey.”
The wise men responded with a question, “What can we put our gifts on?”
A man and the young woman showed them ‘twas
Best to lay the gifts on the hay softy, and said they needed to whisper.
A baby in a trough awoke and looked at them; the men saw their reward.
“Now for the little King’s reward!”
And the wise men opened the gifts that were near.
Gold, frankincense, and mur appeared, causing the mother to whisper.
This was the end of their journey,
And a wonderful ending ‘twas.
But as the men left, they thought of something and it they acted on.
Their knees the men fell on,
And there they received a great reward.
A new, powerful, and wonderful experience ‘twas,
To be to the Christ child so near,
Worshiping and adoring him after their long journey.
To him soft words did they whisper.
The man and women together stood near
And also thought of their journey.
All the while, the wind continued to say, “Come, come,” in a whisper.
It references bells once, but that's it. 
The idea came from the song though, so...
'Tis a good one.
