O, beautiful star of Bethlehem,
Shining far through shadows dim,
Giving the light for those who long have gone;
Guiding the wise men on their way,
Unto the place where Jesus lay.
Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on.
O, beautiful star, the hope of light,
Guiding the pilgrim through the night,
Over the mountain till the break of dawn;
Into the land of perfect day,
It will give out a lovely ray.
Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on.
O, beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star)
Of Bethlehem (star of Bethlehem),
Shine upon us until the glory dawn;
Give us a lamp to light the way,
Unto the land of perfect day.
Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on.
O, beautiful star, the hope of grace,
For the redeemed, the good and the blest,
Yonder in glory when the crown is won;
Jesus is now that star divine,
Brighter and brighter He will shine.
Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on.
O, beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star)
Of Bethlehem (star of Bethlehem),
Shine upon us until the glory dawn;
Give us a lamp to light the way,
Unto the land of perfect day.
Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on.
O, beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on.
