Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Phillips Brooks is a relative of mine! My dad’s middle name was Brooks after this family member. Dad is 90 years old now and also was a pastor years ago. December of 2019 I took him on his first trip to Israel which included the Church of the Nativity. I watched my 89 year old dad kneel down and touch that star where Jesus was born. It will forever be engraved in my mind. Thank you again for sharing all this information! Joy Murrell from Georgia!
And we’re so glad they composed it! Thanks for the research and presentation about this song!
Thank you! We will continue to research the classic hymns of the Christian faith and post them for all to see and be inspired. More to come soon.

Thank you for sharing your story and for your kind comments. We hope that many will be encouraged and blessed by these stories behind the hymns.
Yesterday, 21 December, the Great Jupiter & Saturn conjunction took place (last in 1226AD) - dubbed "The Christmas star"...
Blessings.
Maranatha! 🙏💐
