A Star and a Cross
A bright and shining star
Heralded the birth of our Lord,
And wise men followed its path
To come and bow before His bed.
A Saviour was born that night,
In a lowly, humble place.
He left all of Heaven’s glory-
Came to Earth to save our race.
A star led the wise men,
Laden with gifts of great cost.
Little did they know His Destiny
Would lead Him to a cruel cross.
A Star and a cross-
Both were symbols of God’s Love,
When Jesus came down to Earth to die,
And left His glory up above.
