CHRISTIANS, LO! THE STAR APPEARETH

Based on the Gospel passage We have seen his star at its rising, and have come with gifts to adore the Lord (Matthew 2:2).  Text by James Arnold Blaisdell.  Original tune from 1991 that I had intended back then to use with the Omer Westendorf text You have looked upon the lowly (which is owned by ICEL, not World Library - surprise, surprise!).  I forgot what I had originally named the tune, but I renamed it after that same Gospel passage in Latin, Vidimus Stellam Ejus, circa 2005.  Tune is short, but intended to be played maestoso (not fast, but with a generously registered organ).  Ideal for Epiphany!
