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. | |||

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.
