Who shined the star whose luster showed
the way to travel down that road
which led great men to see the King,
a babe who made the angels sing?
Whose labors lit his small abode?
When light throughout the night skies flowed
as ne'er before those heavens glowed,
whose efforts lit each angel's wing?
Who shined the star?
To whom, I ask, is my debt owed
for blessings which his work bestowed?
My gratitude to him I bring
whose steadfast toil revealed the King
with light as light has never glowed.
Who shined the star?
