(A.I. Phipps)

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem

Shining afar through shadows dim

Giving the light for those who long have gone

Guiding the wise men on their way

Unto the place where Jesus lay



Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem

(Beautiful, beautiful star)Of Bethlehem

(Star of Bethlehem)



Shine upon us until the glory dawns

Give us the light to light the way

Unto the land of perfect day



Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

Oh beautiful star, the hope of life

Guiding the pilgrims through the night

Over the mountains till the break of dawn

Into the light of perfect day

It will give out a lovely ray



Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

Oh beautiful star, the hope of rest

For the redeemed, the good and the blest

Yonder in glory when the crown is won

Where Jesus is now the star divine

Brighter and brighter he will shine

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on
