think of that star of long ago
That lighted the wanderers� path below;
In faith I look up, and o�er me I see
That star in its beauty still shining for me.

Refrain

O star that once shone over Bethlehem!
Thy beams yet to mortals great joy proclaim.
The Lord to adore, I hasten with thee,
O star in thy beauty still shining for me.

�A Child unto us is born��O joy!
To sin blighted earth comes high Heav�n�s Envoy;
Now over my path that dear memory,
A star in its beauty is shining for me.

Refrain

No clouds can obscure that kindly star,
Nor brightness of noonday its glories mar;
When shadows of death surround me, I�ll see
That star in its beauty still shining for me.

Refrain

It sheds on the world its peaceful rays,
And greets every mortal with heav�nly grace.
To Bethlehem�s Babe I hasten with thee,
O star, in thy beauty, still shining for me.
