Beautiful Star

Author: D. S. Anderson Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: A most beautiful star burst out one night Refrain First Line: Like a radiant gem it shone upon them, Lyrics: 1 A most beautiful star burst out one night, And it shone with such splendor and holy delight, That wise men from the East, a country afar, Beheld with great joy that dear beautiful star. Refrain: Like a radiant gem it shone upon them, And led them rejoicing to Bethlehem; And the story it told, more precious than gold, Will ever to glory the way unfold. 2 ’Twas a Savior they sought, ’twas a Savior they found, And they told the glad story the country around; Shall not we be as wise as those from afar, And follow the beams of the beautiful star? [Refrain] 3 That bright Bethlehem star is shining yet; It arose in its beauty, but never will set; For the time draweth nigh when nations afar Shall walk in the light of that beautiful star. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [A most beautiful star burst out one night] Text Sources: Crown of Life, by William A. Ogden (Toledo: Willard W. Whitney, 1856)
