by Otto Jacob (Jacobi? Jakobi?) (1803 - 1855)

Es strahlt am Himmelsrande
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es strahlt am Himmelsrande
  Ein Stern so lieb und mild,
Der kommt aus Morgenlande,
  Und schwebt durch das Gefild.

Er schwebt mit Silberblinken
  Den Weisen hell voran,
Und kommt auch mir zu winken,
  Wie er zuvor gethan.

Er ist mir nicht verloren,
  Ich seh' ihn, wo er hält;
Uns ist der Christ geboren,
  Der Heiland dieser Welt!
