Led by the bright lone Star of Bethlehem
there knelt, with staff and lambs, a shepherd boy.
His glowing eyes gazed at the sight that then
drew many by this Star that promised joy.
They joined him 'round the holy manger there,
and shepherd boy felt love within him rise.
He knew what he beheld, infant so fair,
God sent to us as our salvation's prize.
The site of baby Jesus touched his soul;
he knew as others did, our Savior came.
For bathe in Heaven's light, angels extolled;
this child, as Son of God, we would proclaim.
His birth in Bethlehem that sacred night
gave shepherd boy, and us, new guiding light.
