En hymn till stjärnan by Alice Tegnér — Lyrics
O, stjärna du som tändes
i Österland en gång,
när Frälsaren oss sändes
vid änglaskarors sång.

About En hymn till stjärnan
Alice Tegnér was a celebrated Swedish composer and pedagogue, known for her contributions to Swedish children's music and hymns. En hymn till stjärnan is a sacred work for SATB choir, setting a Swedish text. The lyrics reflect on a star, likely the Star of Bethlehem, which appeared at the time of the Saviour's birth. Despite the passage of centuries, the star's radiance remains, guiding the faithful towards 'our Father's house'. The music would have been composed to serve this devotional text, offering a moment of reflection and spiritual contemplation for the choir and congregation.
