Star of Our Lord

Most wondrous star in the night,

Shining so beautiful for all to see,

Gladly casting its marvelous light

Over mountains, land, and sea.

It stopped, lovingly and bright,

Over such poor stable with glee,

Chose a manger for its resting site,

Where Our Savior might be.

It illuminated the coldest night

And guided shepherd and wiseman,

While the angels sang hymns afar.

Messenger of good news its sight,

Peace and love amongst all men

Brought us, Lord Jesus, Thy Star!
