Matthew 2:10
"When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy."
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem,
Shining afar thru shadows dim,
Giving a light for those who long have gone, (have gone);
And guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay.
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).
Chorus
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem,
Beautiful, beautiful Star, Star of Bethlehem,
Shine upon us until the glory dawn (glory dawn);
Oh, give us Thy light to light the way
Into the land of perfect day,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on)
O beautiful Star, the hope of light,
Guiding the pilgrim thru the night,
Over the mountain till the break of dawn (of dawn):
And into the light perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).
Chorus
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem,
Beautiful, beautiful Star, Star of Bethlehem,
Shine upon us until the glory dawn (glory dawn);
Oh, give us Thy light to light the way
Into the land of perfect day,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on)
O beautiful Star, the hope of res,
For the redeemed, the good and blest,
Yonder in glory when the crown is won, (is won)
For Jesus is now that Star divine,
Brighter and brighter He will shine,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).
Chorus
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem,
Beautiful, beautiful Star, Star of Bethlehem,
Shine upon us until the glory dawn (glory dawn);
Oh, give us Thy light to light the way
Into the land of perfect day,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on)
