The Star
Mages and sages for ages and ages
had pored over pages and stared at the stars.
Watching and waiting for news of a new king,
predicted by prophets and promised by God.
Then came a new star. Only the wisest
dared to set off and to follow its light.
Slept in the daytime and traveled in darkness;
followed the star as it shined in the night.
Now it stands still overBethlehem ’s slumber.
Now they have found him, and soon they can rest.
Mages and sages and shepherds and wise ones:
all who have sought him and found him are blessed.
