A Shining Star

Author: Lydia A. Coonley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13121 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 First Line: A shining star came from afar Lyrics: 1 A shining star came from afar, Upon a snowy morn; An angel near sang "Do not fear, Behold! a child is born." An angel near sang "Do not fear, Behold! a child is born." 2 Sweet Christmas then was giv’n to men To bless the winter wild, Since in a stall the Lord of all Became a little child. Since in a stall the Lord of all Became a little child. 3 All hail that morn when Christ was born! Wreathe holly, pine and bay, Let children sing, let carols ring To bless our Christmas day, Let children sing, let carols ring To bless our Christmas day.
