This arrangement of the song is the most true to the version we sang that morning at church: three solo verses by three different singers, with full chorus singing each refrain. Of course ours was a little better.

Many decades later my brother, who is an astronomer, began giving lectures about the scientific basis of the Star of Bethlehem, which he eventually published in text form in Imprimis, a publication by Hillsdale College.

I was never consulted about my opinion on these scientific investigations. All of his work was published long after Queen Elizabeth had been crowned, so I have labeled this as #1A, being so recent that it could certainly not earn a #2 designation in this series.
