15313. Twinkle, Twinkle, Christmas Star

1 Twinkle, twinkle, Christmas star!
Who can tell me what you are?
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky?

Refrain:
Always show your bright, clear light;
Shine and sparkle thro’ the night;
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

2 When the golden day is done,
And the night is just begun,
Then I’ll wait and watch for you,
As you twinkle thro’ the blue. [Refrain]

3 When the night grows dark and chill,
Then you shine more bright and still,
And your kindly watch you keep
While the little children sleep. [Refrain]

4 Little star, with you I’d shine,
To His praise who is divine;
Jesus is our glorious king;
For Him children love to sing. [Refrain]
