Dear God,
lead us with the Wise Men
by the star of your holy Word
to your Son, Christ Jesus,
and always protect us
from every attack.
Then we will return
to our home country
by another route,
that is, to God
by whom we are created,
and finally come to the source again,
as in a great golden ring.
God help us,
through Christ,
our King and Priest,
forever and ever.
Amen.
– Martin Luther (1483-1546AD)
