Bethlehem Star
The Bethlehem star
Brightly shone
Showing where Jesus lay
Surrounded by love
Snuggled and warm
On a bed of fresh smelling hay
A beautiful light
Shining bright
For all the world to see
Claiming its spot in the world
And in our history
Shepherds and wisemen
Traveling from afar
Coming to see
Their new King
Guided by the star
They begin their worshiping
Now Jesus is our shining star
Of promise hope and peace
Shining bright for us each day
His wonders never cease
May we be a reflection
Of all that he can be
In what we do and say
A star shining bright
Glowing in our hearts
For the world to see

Matthew 2:9-10
The star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
