¶Lyrics / Text

1. God gave a star to guide the wise, whose hearts were open to its light; to follow they gave up the day and went as pilgrims through the night. 2. God gave the wise to praise a child, who lay, in secret hope, in hay; the wise ones worshipped openly then journeyed home another way. 3. God gave the child to love a world that noticed neither child nor light; but love grew up, a brighter star, to guide a pilgrim through the night.
