O won­drous star of Beth­le­hem!
That in the hea­vens bright
Shone forth to guide the pil­grims’ feet,
Unto the Prince of Light,
Shine on thro’ end­less ag­es,
While ring­ing thro’ the sky;
His loy­al ones still hear the song:
Glory to God on high!

Refrain

Shine on, Beth­le­hem’s star,
Send thy light afar;
Tell of Je­sus’ birth
Till His glo­ry fills the earth.

O bless­èd star of Beth­le­hem!
Still gild with heav’n­ly ray
The path­way to the Ho­ly One
Who comes to us to­day.
Gleam thro’ the dark­some sha­dows
That fill the heart with fear,
Till wea­ry souls shall see the light,
Knowing that Christ is near.

Refrain

O won­drous star of Beth­le­hem!
Shine on; we too would bring
Our lives a will­ing sac­ri­fice,
With glad­ness to the King.
With joy we tra­vel on­ward,
Encircled by the glow—
The glo­ry of the fade­less Star,
Jesus, whose love we know.

Refrain
