English text
Star of my heart, I follow from afar.
Sweet Love on high, lead on where shepherds are,
Where Time is not, and only dreamers are.
Star of my heart, I follow from afar.
Star from of old, though Magi-Kings are dead
yet man, with hope still seeks the manger-bed.
O lead me to the Holy, Heavenly Child
Across this dreamland so lone and wild.
Then I will speak this prayer unsaid,
And I still kiss His little haloed head:
My star and I, we love you, little child.
Enter our hearts, O Holy infant mild.
