Hymn: Words by Grace Glenn •  Music by J.H.Fillmore

Found in the short story, "Under the Window" (from Katherine's Yesterday)

 

Little stars that twinkle in the heavens blue,
I have often wondered if you ever knew
How there rose one like you, leading wise old men
From the East through Judah, down to Bethlehem?

Did you see the costly presents they had brought?
Did you see the stable they in wonder sought?
Did you see the worship tenderly they paid
To that stranger baby in the manger laid?

Did you hear the mothers'pleading through their tears
For the babes that Herod slew the coming years?
Did you see how Joseph, warned of God in dreams,
Hurried into Egypt guided by your beams.

Did you watch the Savior all those years of strife?
Did you know, for sinners, how he gave his life?
Little stars that twinkle in the heavens blue,
All you saw of Jesus how I wish I knew.
