The heavens with light o’erflowing
A story of love will tell.
A new star will shine in glory
When Jesus comes on earth to dwell.

O star bright, the world is pining
For you to turn night into the day.
O star bright in heaven shining,
Come, glow within me on Christmas Day.

Be joyful with eyes upturning,
Beholding the time at hand.
The night sign will soon be burning;
He’s coming to our promised land.

O star bright, the world is pining
For you to turn night into the day.
O star bright in heaven shining,
Come, glow within me on Christmas Day.

Our Father with love is sending
The Christ child to conquer strife.
His mercy to all extending,
He’s bringing everlasting life.

O star bright, the world is pining
For you to turn night into the day.
O star bright in heaven shining,
Come, glow within me on Christmas Day.
