While Stars of Christmas Shine

While stars of Christ­mas shine

Lighting the skies

Let on­ly lov­ing looks

Beam from our eyes.

For at this bless­èd time

Long

long ago

Christ Je­sus came

Who lived God’s love to show.

While bells of Christ­mas ring

Joyous and clear

Speak on­ly hap­py words

All love and cheer.

Give on­ly lov­ing gifts

And in love take

Gladden the poor and sad

For love’s dear sake.
