The Migdal Eder Star

In the month of Tishri on the first day

Stood the Tower of the Flock Migdal Eder they say

Moving south from Bethel onto Rachel’s tomb

On the outskirts of Bethlehem Salvation from a tomb

Hark the herald angels sing astromancers align His works

The place the lambs prepare to die the sacrifice of worth

How did the shepherds find the place that they should go

To the one and only manger that every prophet knows

The matrix of Mary’s womb provided us a gift

From the portal to our life the curse of Hermon shifts

Perfect in the priestly rags In swaddling He was found

No blemish spot or wrinkle complete on Holy Ground

The ancient gifts presented from Adam’s time til now

The wisdom from the ages see the wise kings bow

Their entourage in tow Magi from the east afar

A coronation to perform a confluence from the star

Gold frankincense and myrrh confirm the Holy Son

The death decrees of Herod killed every child save one

Back to our captor Egypt an old debt to pay

Then established on a donkey the Father’s wish obeyed

His purpose now fulfilled He hung He bled He died

His mother grieved and stricken His abba knew just why

To the thrown ascended Jesus sits on high

Now everyone who believes it will meet Him in the sky
