A star shone in the east
That night,
A star so bright that even
I'd have known,
That God was signaling
With stars.

Wise men waited for
This star,
Long they'd watched
For it from far,
Then to the east this
Blazing one stood out.

The star shone down
Where the Christ Child lay,
In a manger filled with hay,
A humble bed
But soft and sweet,
With Mary kneeling at His feet.
