Star of the East (Hull)

Composer: Asa Hull, 1881

Star of the East

O beau­ti­ful star

That brought the wise men from afar;

Thy won­drous light had been fore­told

By pro­phets and seers of old.

Star

beau­ti­ful star! Star of Beth­le­hem;

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful star!

Star of Beth­le­hem

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful star!

It led where Christ in Beth­le­hem lay

A migh­ty Sav­ior born this day;

Above His low­ly bed stood still

While an­gels pro­claimed Good will.

The shep­herds saw thy won­der­ful light

And came to wor­ship Him by night;

The wise men brought their gifts along

And ser­aphs poured forth their song.

Star

beau­ti­ful star! Star of Beth­le­hem;

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful star!

Star of Beth­le­hem

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful star!

It led where Christ in Beth­le­hem lay

A migh­ty Sav­ior born this day;

Above His low­ly bed stood still

While an­gels pro­claimed Good will.

The shep­herds saw thy won­der­ful light

And came to wor­ship Him by night;

The wise men brought their gifts along

And ser­aphs poured forth their song.
