Saint Bernard of Clairvaux
That Wondrous Star
That Wondrous Star
She is truly like a star,
That noble star of Jacob
whose rays illuminate the universe,
From google: "The Messiah is now referred to as a 'Star' a person who will have dominion."
"star" refers to the brightness and glory of a celestial body - Rights
