List to the beau­ti­ful sto­ry
Of Beth­le­hem’s won­der­ful star,
Shining in ra­di­ant glo­ry
Over the hea­vens afar.

Refrain

Wonderful star! Glo­ri­ous star!
Guiding the wise men who came from afar,
Softly thy light shines thro’ the night,
Bethlehem’s beau­ti­ful, beau­ti­ful star,
Bethlehem’s beau­ti­ful, beau­ti­ful star.

All thro’ their jour­ney so lone­ly
The pil­grims that came from the East,
Followed this guid­ing light on­ly,
Till the long wan­der­ing ceased.

Refrain

Seeking the Sav­ior so ho­ly,
Who came to be Is­ra­el’s king,
Soon to His cra­dle so low­ly,
Gold and frank­in­cense they bring.

Refrain

Jesus, Thou star of the morn­ing,
Tho’ I’m but a child in Thy sight,
Turning from sin at Thy warn­ing,
Gladly I fol­low Thy light.
