Star of the East, O beautiful star,
That brought the wise men from afar;
Thy wondrous light had been foretold
By prophets and seers of old.
Refrain
Star, beautiful star! Star of Bethlehem;
Beautiful, beautiful star!
Star of Bethlehem,
Beautiful, beautiful star!
It led where Christ in Bethlehem lay,
A mighty Savior born this day;
Above His lowly bed stood still,
While angels proclaimed Good will.
Refrain
The shepherds saw thy wonderful light,
And came to worship Him by night;
The wise men brought their gifts along,
And seraphs poured forth their song.
