The Star and the Angels

lyricist: Irvin Mack, 1904
Composer: Lincoln Hall

Bethlehem star

beau­ti­ful star

Shining with guid­ing ray

Shedding a light

heav­en­ly light

Pointing to Christ the way;

Angels so bright

wing­ing their flight

Over the si­lent hill

Carol a song in­to the morn

Peace un­to earth

good will.

Glowing

glow­ing

Star of ra­di­ant beau­ty

Streaming

beam­ing

O’er the new­born King;

Angels sang by night

Tidings of peace

Telling un­to earth;

Joyful the news they bring.

Over the earth

slum­ber­ing deep

Angels are hov­er­ing near

Telling of Him com­ing to reign

Blessèd are they who hear.

Nations

arise! Hon­or your king!

Share in the joys to­day!

Jesus the mild

comes as a child

Showing the heav’n­ly way.

Arches of Heav’n

stream­ing with light

Honor the King who came;

Glories on high

fill­ing the sky

Praise the Re­deem­er’s name.

Wonderful love

won­der­ful love

Sent from the throne on high

Gave to the earth peace and good will

Bringing sal­va­tion nigh.
