Silvery star, pre­cious star,
Shining over Beth­le­hem,
Guiding wise men from afar,
In the still night lead­ing there.

Refrain

Starlight and song, all the night long,
Heralds of morn, Je­sus is born.

Beautiful song, won­drous song,
Kneeling shep­herds wept to hear,
Chanted by God’s ho­ly throng,
Singing peace and joy and cheer.

Refrain

Baby Sav­ior, born at night,
In the ag­es, long ago,
Angels sang and stars gave light,
For Thy hum­ble home be­low.

Refrain

Kingly Sav­ior throned tonight,
In that ho­ly land ab­ove,
Crowned with glo­ry, clad in light,
Send thy mes­sen­gers of love.

Refrain

Lo! we hear the song o’er­head,
Lo! we see the star arise,
Like the wise men we are led,
In the still night un­to Christ.
