"Gläns över sjö och strand" is the opening line for a poem written by Viktor Rydberg, appearing in the 1891 Vapensmeden. In the novel, the poem has no title. The title "Betlehems stjärna" originally appeared in 1893 when Alice Tegnér published music, turning the poem into a song. The title has also been used for later melodies.[1][2]
