Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite."
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the the sea,
With a voice as big as the the sea."
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold."
Said the king to the people everywhere,
"Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light."
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem,
Shining afar 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.
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on.
O beautiful Star
(O beautiful beautiful beautiful star)
of Bethlehem, of Bethehem.
Shine upon us until the Glory dawns, glory dawns.
Give us the Light to light the way,
Unto the land of perfect day;
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on, shine on.
O beautiful Star, the Hope of Life,
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.
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on, shine on.
O beautiful Star
(O beautiful beautiful beautiful star)
of Bethlehem, of Bethehem.
Shine upon us until the Glory dawns, glory dawns.
Give us the Light to light the way,
Unto the land of perfect day;
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on, shine on.
O beautiful Star, the Hope of Rest,
For the redeemed the good and the blessed,
Yonder in glory when the crown is won, is won;
Jesus is now the Star Divine,
Brighter and brighter He will shine.
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on, shine on.
O beautiful Star
(O beautiful beautiful beautiful star)
of Bethlehem, of Bethehem.
Shine upon us until the Glory dawns, glory dawns.
Give us the Light to light the way,
Unto the land of perfect day;
O beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on, shine on.
