On a cold, clear night

Christmas in Bethlehem. The ancient dream: a cold, clear night made brilliant by a glorious star, the smell of incense, shepherds and wise men falling to their knees in adoration of the sweet baby, the incarnation of perfect love. — Lucinda Franks

Love was born

Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.
— Christina Rossetti

For the world

Jesus came to be the light for the world, and then there's the Christmas star and the idea of letting your light shine. But not blinding your neighbor with it. — Marta Perry

Quivering expectantly

One strain could call up the quivering expectancy of Christmas Eve, childhood, joy and sadness, the lonely wonder of a star. — Maudi Hart Lovelace

A blessing

The light of the Christmas star to you. The warmth of home and hearth to you. The cheer and goodwill of friends to you. — Sherryl Woods

A reminder

When you look up at night
And see the stars shining bright
Be reminded of Jesus' birth
Who came and lived on earth. — Catherine Pulsifer

A sign from afar

Twinkle tiny star.
Oh, how great you truly are!
God's sign from afar. — Richelle E. Goodrich

 

The port of peace

It was my guide, my light, my all;
It bade my dark forebodings cease,
And through the storm and danger's thrall
It led me to the port of peace.
Now, safely moor'd — my perils o'er —
I'll sing, first in night's diadem,
For ever, and for evermore,
The Star! — The Star of Bethlehem! — Henry Kirke White

The Saviour

O Bethlehem Star keep shining
Give us faith and hope and love,
Keep our thoughts forever turning
To the Savior up above. — Unknown

 

 

Through the ages

May His love, down through the ages,
Glow as the star did then,
And the spirit of peace on earth, good will
Live in the hearts of men! — Marian L Moore

Made man

Man’s maker was made man, that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother’s breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that the Truth might be accused of false witness, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the Foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die. — St Augustine of Hippo

A child

The wise men listened to the king and then went on their way to Bethlehem. And now the star, which they had seen in the east, went in front of them as they travelled until at last it shone immediately above the place where the little child lay. The sight of the star filled them with indescribable joy. — Matthew 2:9-10
