Text by Jonathan Nangle, from multiple sources, referring to the Christmas Star (the Star of Bethlehem) and its role within the nativity and astronomical explanations.

Luminous Star

Wise men followed a star:

Melchior, Balthazar, Gaspar.

Luminous star, Heliacal rising,

Like Abraham, they followed in hope.

Luminous star, Heliacal rising,

Arise, follow, Melchior, Balthazar, Gaspar.

Dawned the light of knowledge

Taught by a star;

Arise, follow, celestial fire, lodestar,

Follow, Balthazar, Gaspar, Melchior.
