Betlehemsstjärnan by Gustaf Nordqvist — Lyrics
Du signade stjärna, som klar rann opp.
För herdar och vise i fjärran.
Det heliga svaret från seklernas hopp.
För oss du ock lyse vårt vandringslopp.
Till eviga julen hos Herran.

About Betlehemsstjärnan
Gustaf Nordqvist's Betlehemsstjärnan sets a Swedish devotional text that reflects on the Star of Bethlehem. The words speak of the star as a guiding light for shepherds and wise men, and as a symbol of hope leading us to eternal Christmas with the Lord. The text pleads for the star to illuminate our journey and to free our souls from error and vanity, offering warmth from heavenly love. This sacred setting is arranged for SATB choir, its rich harmonies intended to convey the profound spiritual message of the lyrics.
