Star Bright #1204

V1 The heavens with light o’erflowing

A story of love will tell.

A new star will shine in glory

When Jesus comes on earth to dwell.

[Chorus]

V2 Be joyful with eyes upturning,

Beholding the time at hand.

The night sign will soon be burning;

He’s coming to our promised land.

[Chorus]

V3 Our Father with love is sending

The Christ child to conquer strife.

His mercy to all extending,

He’s bringing everlasting life.

[Chorus]

[Chorus] O star bright, the world is pining

For you to turn night into the day.

O star bright in heaven shining,

Come, glow within me on Christmas Day.

New Hymn
This week: Star Bright
