There’s a Wonderful Star

lyricist: Flora Kirkland, 1901
Composer: Adam Geibel

There’s a won­der­ful star in the cold win­ter sky

And it shines ov­er Beth­le­hem town.

It was ne’er seen be­fore

un­til ov­er the door

Of a sta­ble its glo­ry shone down.

Boys: O

won­der­ful star

oh won­der­ful song!

O vi­sion of an­gels

O vi­sion of an­gels in light!

Girls: O won­der­ful King in the cat­tle shed low!

All: O won­der­ful night

O won­der­ful

won­der­ful night!

There’s a won­der­ful vi­sion of an­gels and light

And a car­ol o’er Beth­le­hem’s hill.

Such a car­ol as nev­er by mor­tal was heard

Till the an­gel host chant­ed

Good­will.

There’s a won­der­ful Child in a cat­tle shed low

Resting here amid ox­en and kine;

And the glo­ry of Heav­en shines bright on His brow

For ’tis Je­sus

the In­fant di­vine!
