The Christmas star that shone many years ago, continues to shine today through those who believe in Jesus.
The stars are lovely things at night;
They light the hills and make them bright.
They lift the valley from its knees,
And make the plains as bright as these.
One star shines brighter than the rest;
It is the one I like the best.
It marks the place of Jesus' birth,
Of angel song and peace on earth.
Were I a shepherd, I would go
Down in the valley far below
And worship at a manger stall
In Bethlehem, the Lord of all.
Were I wise man from afar,
I, too, would follow that bright star;
But, as I only am a lamb,
I kneel to Him just where I am.
That Christmas Star
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
That Christmas star that shone
So many nights ago
Gives us hope and peace
It sets the world aglow.
So when you see
Bright stars in the sky
Let it remind you
To give thanks to God on High.
God sent his only Son
No gift could ever compare
This gift of love truly shows
Just how much God does care.
Brilliance In A Humble Scene
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Whispers of angels echo in the night,
Proclaiming peace on earth, a promise taking flight.
A Savior born to heal, to love, to redeem,
A Christmas star's brilliance in a humble scene.
In Bethlehem's embrace, a miracle unfolds,
As the Christmas star above its story told.
Embraced in love, this child so small,
God's greatest gift, a blessing for all.
The Star Of Bethlehem
Poet: Henry Kirke White
When marshall'd on the nightly plain,
The glittering host bestud the sky;
One Star alone, of all the train.
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks,
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks.
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud — the night was dark,
The ocean yawn'd — and rudely blow'd
The wind that toss'd my foundering bark.
Deep horror then my vitals froze.
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;
When suddenly a star arose.
It was the star of Bethlehem.
It was my guide, my light, my all;
It bade my dark forebodings cease,
And through the storm and danger's thrall
It led me to the port of peace.
Now, safely moor'd — my perils o'er —
I'll sing, first in night's diadem,
For ever, and for evermore,
The Star! — The Star of Bethlehem!
Merry Christmas time is here,
Bells are ringing sweet and clear,
Stars up in the blue appear,
At Merry Christmas time.
Sometimes when I look overhead,
I see a star that shines so red.
Is it a Christmas star?
As I am standing here below
I see my bright star twinkle so.
Is It a Christmas star?
I look up in the big sky, too,
To me my star looks small and blue.
Is it a Christmas star?
My star shines on a Christmas tree,
It is just as pretty as can be.
Stars of red and blue and gold,
Twinkle, twinkle as of old,
Shine o’er a happy world so bright,
For it is Merry Christmas night!
Stars Shining
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
When you look up at night
And see the stars shining bright
Be reminded of Jesus' birth
Who came and lived on earth.
He came to save us all
Without Him, we would fall.
The star that shone so bright that night
Brings the world hope and light.
