A beautiful star arose one night, Divinely it shone with purest light; Its wonderful rays the wise men led To find the Savior’s lowly bed.
Refrain: ’Tis shining still, ’tis shining still, That beautiful star, o’er plain and hill; ’Tis shining still, ’tis shining still, Salvation’s star of God’s good will.
They knew by the word of truth divine, ’Twas time that the guiding star should shine; They followed its light which shone afar, ’Twas Christ, “the bright and Morning Star.”
We’ll follow its light, like those of old, The “Light of the World,” by seers foretold; We’ll follow His light till we shall come To perfect rest in heav’n, our home.
