Star of Bethlehem

(A.L. Phipps)



Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem

Shining afar through shadows dim

Giving the light to those who long have gone

Guiding the Wise Men on their way

Unto the place where Jesus lay

Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on.



Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem

Shine upon us until the glory dawns

Give us the light to light the way

Onto the land of perfect day

Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on.



Oh, beautiful star the hope of light

Guiding the pilgrims through the night

Over the mountains till the break of dawn

Into the light of perfect day

It will give out a lovely ray

Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on.

Oh, beautiful star the hope of rest

For the redeemed, the good and the blessed

Yonder in glory when the crown is won

Jesus is now that star divine

Brighter and brighter He will shine

Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on.



Oh, beautiful star the hope of light

Guiding the pilgrims through the night

Over the mountains till the break of dawn

Into the light of perfect day

It will give out a lovely ray

Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on...
