Tune: | [There's a star that arose on the beautiful night] |
Composer: | Chas. H. Gabriel |
1 There’s a star that arose on the beautiful night,
When angels descended all lovely and bright,
And folding their pinions, proclaimed to the world
The standard of mercy thro’ Jesus unfurled.
Refrain:
Beautiful star, Bethlehem’s star,
Shining, still shining form regions afar;
Beautiful star, peaceful and bright,
Smile on us ever by day and by night.
2 ‘Twas the star that the sages predicted should rise;
It shone like a gem on the blue ether skies;
The first and the fairest that jeweled the train
That glistened and sparkled on Bethlehem’s plain. [Refrain]
3 ‘Tis the star that for ages the pilgrims have blest,
The herald of gladness, the beacon of rest;
Its lustre unfading no cloud can obscure,
It leads on to glory, its haven is sure. [Refrain]
