MP3 - Christmas Star
PDF - Christmas Star
My wife came home from her Relief Society Christmas dinner with this poem in hand. I saw that it was written by anonymous, and after doing a search, I found it to be indeed anonymous. I know it had to have a tune to go with it, so tonight I set down and started playing around. This tune formulated. It would be suitable for a unison choir - either Young Men/Women or adults. I hope you like it.
A diamond shines no brighter than that lovely Christmas star.
It shines in all it's brilliance; it's seen from near and far.
Chorus
A symbol of the Christ child as He lay upon the hay,
It tells to ll the waiting world a King was born that day.
Chorus
Give us strength and hope and courage to do our best by far.
And never falter in our faith as we watch that Christmas star.
Chorus
O Bethlehem Star keep shining.
Give us faith and hope and love.
Keep our thoughts forever turning
to the Savior up above.
