14266. While Stars Of Christmas Shine

1 While stars of Christmas shine, lighting the skies,
Let only loving looks beam from our eyes.

Refrain:
For at this blessed time, long, long ago,
Christ Jesus came, who lived God’s love to show.

2 While bells of Christmas ring, joyous and clear,
Speak only happy words, all love and cheer. [Refrain]

3 Give only loving gifts, and in love take,
Gladden the poor and sad for love’s dear sake. [Refrain]
