Lyrics

1. Bright and glorious is the sky, radiant are the heavens high where the golden stars were shining, and their rays to earth inclining, calling us to heav'n above, calling us to heav'n above.
2. On that holy Christmas night, through the darkness beamed a light. All the stars above were paling, all their lustre slowly failing, as the Christmas star drew near, as the Christmas star drew near.
3. Wise men from the East afar, when they saw this wondrous star, went to find the King of na tions and to offer their oblations unto Him as Lord and King, unto Him as Lord and King.
4. Him they found in Bethlehem, yet He wore no diadem, they but saw a maiden lowly, with an Infant pure and holy, resting in her loving arms, resting in her loving arms.
5. Guided by the star they found Him whose praise the angels sound. We too have a Star to guide us which forever will provide us with the light of Christ, our Lord, with the light of Christ, our Lord.
