12406. The Song And The Star

1 There’s a happy song that’s ringing on the air,
’Tis the song that hearts are singing everywhere;
At the merry Christmas time
Tuneful bells the message chime,
And its holy peace and gladness all may share!

Refrain:
Happy Christmas! Sweetly echo,
Star of Christmas, brightly shine!
Till the world shall hear the message,
And shall seek the Babe divine!

2 There’s a wondrous star that’s shining o’er the earth,
’Tis the star that tells the world of Jesus’ birth;
Every seeking soul ’twill guide
At the happy Christmas tide,
When the hearts of men are filled with holy mirth! [Refrain]

3 O the happy song is sounding far and wide,
And the heav’nly star will ever be our guide;
And the Christ who came in love,
Bringing blessings from above,
In the heart that’s pure and truthful will abide! [Refrain]
