Beautiful Star (Jones)

Beautiful star of old­en time

Blessèd your mis­sion in the earth

Shedding your rays afar and wide

Telling of the Mes­si­ah’s birth.

Beautiful star of Beth­le­hem

Shining o’er the plains by night;

Leading the way from lands afar

Unto Christ

the bless­èd light.

Beautiful star of old­en time

Carry the news of peace

good will

Promises writ­ten in the word

Jesus is com­ing to ful­fill.

Beautiful star of old­en time

O may your light beam out again

Unto the ut­most parts of earth

Speaking the love of Christ to men.
