Lyrics

Star of Beth­le­hem, shin­ing bright,
Long ago by thy ho­ly light
Sages met in praise to bring
Eastern gifts to their new­born king.

Star of Beth­le­hem, thou didst show
Wond’ring shep­herds the way to go,
Thus re­veal­ing by thy ray
Where the in­fant Re­deem­er lay.

Star of Beth­le­hem, heav’n­ly guide,
Take us all to our Sav­ior’s side,
There to kneel and there to bring
Loving hearts as our of­fer­ing.
