Thurlow Weed - God gave a star to guide the wise - текст песни (слова)

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.
