16427. Star Of The East

1 Star of the East, O beau­ti­ful star,
That brought the wise men from afar;
Thy won­drous light had been fore­told
By pro­phets and seers of old.

Refrain:
Star, beau­ti­ful star! Star of Beth­le­hem;
Beautiful, beau­ti­ful star!
Star of Beth­le­hem,
Beautiful, beau­ti­ful star!

2 It led where Christ in Beth­le­hem lay,
A migh­ty Sav­ior born this day;
Above His low­ly bed stood still,
While an­gels pro­claimed "Good will." [Refrain]

3 The shep­herds saw thy won­der­ful light,
And came to wor­ship Him by night;
The wise men brought their gifts along,
And ser­aphs poured forth their song. [Refrain]
