171. There’s a Wonderful Star

1 There’s a wonderful star in the cold winter sky,
And it shines over Bethlehem town,
It was ne’er seen before, until over the door
Of a stable its glory shone down.

Refrain:
O, wonderful star, oh wonderful song!
O vision of angels, O vision of angels in light!
O wonderful King in the cattle shed low!
O, wonderful night, O wonderful, wonderful night!

2 There’s a wonderful vision of angels and light,
And a carol o’er Bethlehem’s hill,
Such a carol as never by mortal was heard,
Till the angel host chanted “Goodwill.” [Refrain]

3 There’s a wonderful Child in a cattle shed low,
Resting there amid oxen and kine;
And the glory of heaven shines bright on His brown,
For ‘tis Jesus, the Infant divine. [Refrain]
