The wise men of old
saw a beautiful star,
Led on by its glory
they traveled afar;
O’er mountain and valley
’til wanderings past,
Their gifts at the feet
of the Savior they cast.
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Scatter the shadows of sin far away,
Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day.
The star of the east
was the herald of day,
The light everlasting
that fades not away;
Its beams rising higher,
O hasten and see,
The Light of the world
shines for you and for me.
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Scatter the shadows of sin far away,
Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day.
The star of His Word
guards His people today,
To sweet joy in Jesus
’tis leading the way.
Then still let us follow
and lovingly bring
Our hearts and our off’rings
to Jesus our King.
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Scatter the shadows of sin far away,
Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day.
To those who in darkness
are straying afar,
We’ll show the pure rays
of the beautiful star.
We’ll tell them of Jesus,
that at His dear feet,
The saved of all nations
shall joyfully meet.
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Scatter the shadows of sin far away,
Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day.
