A Shining Star

lyricist: Lydia Ward, 1895
Composer: William Bartlett

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.

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.

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.
