Lyrics

Star of Bethlehem
© 2012 Bruce Mills (SOCAN BMI)

Shine on, oh star of Bethlehem
Lead us toward the throne
That rises from a manger there
The king of heaven born

Shine on, oh star of Bethlehem
The prophet's promise keeping
The veil of ages drawn aside
Awaken saints from sleeping

Chorus 1
The angels to the earth descend
Their voices praise the holy sight
While ancient kings in worship bend
And shepherds, humble, follow through the night

Shine down, oh star of Bethlehem
Through centuries of darkness
Oh, linger long, the dawning waits
To see the virgin's child there

Shine bright, oh star of Bethlehem
The journey of mankind
Begins with blessed innocence
And ends with thorns and weeping

Chorus 2
The angels to the earth descend
Their voices praise the holy sight
While ancient kings in worship bend
And shepherds, humble, follow through the night

Shine on, oh star of Bethlehem
Jehovah's son - behold him
The everlasting majesty -
Oh, plan of God unfolding

Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
