The Star of Bethleham

Verse 1

I think of that star of long ago That lighted the wanderers’ path below; In faith I look up, and o’er me I see That star in its beauty still shining for me.

Chorus

O star that once shone over Bethlehem! Thy beams yet to mortals great joy proclaim. The Lord to adore, I hasten with thee, O star in thy beauty still shining for me.

Verse 2

A Child unto us is born—O joy! To sin blighted earth comes high Heav’n’s Envoy; Now over my path that dear memory, A star in its beauty is shining for me.

Verse 3

No clouds can obscure that kindly star, Nor brightness of noonday its glories mar; When shadows of death surround me, I’ll see That star in its beauty still shining for me.

Verse 4

It sheds on the world its peaceful rays, And greets every mortal with heav’nly grace. To Bethlehem’s Babe I hasten with thee, O star, in thy beauty, still shining for me.
