I think of that star of long ago
That lighted the
wanderers’ path below;
In faith I look up,
and o’er me I see
That star in its beauty
still shining for me.
O star that once
shone over Bethlehem!
Thy beams yet to mortals
great joy proclaim.
The Lord to adore,
I hasten with thee,
O star in thy beauty
still shining for me.
“A Child unto us is born”—O joy!
To sin blighted earth
comes high Heav’n’s Envoy;
Now over my path
that dear memory,
A star in its beauty
is shining for me.
O star that once
shone over Bethlehem!
Thy beams yet to mortals
great joy proclaim.
The Lord to adore,
I hasten with thee,
O star in thy beauty
still shining for me.
No clouds can obscure
that kindly star,
Nor brightness of noonday
its glories mar;
When shadows of death
surround me, I’ll see
That star in its beauty
still shining for me.
O star that once
shone over Bethlehem!
Thy beams yet to mortals
great joy proclaim.
The Lord to adore,
I hasten with thee,
O star in thy beauty
still shining for me.
It sheds on the world
its peaceful rays,
And greets every mortal
with heav’nly grace.
To Bethlehem’s Babe
I hasten with thee,
O star, in thy beauty,
still shining for me.
O star that once
shone over Bethlehem!
Thy beams yet to mortals
great joy proclaim.
The Lord to adore,
I hasten with thee,
O star in thy beauty
still shining for me.
