16081. O Lovely Star

1 O love­ly star, in heav’n so bright,
That guides the shep­herds thro’ the night
To where the bless­èd Sav­ior lay,
In Bethl’hem’s man­ger far away.

Refrain:
O star di­vine, shed on us here,
Thy beams of love and Christ­mas cheer,
And an­gels sing the song again
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

2 O love­ly star, di­rect our feet,
That we may haste our Lord to greet;
And ga­ther ’round, like Ma­gi old,
Or shep­herds, hasten­ing from the fold. [Refrain]

3 O Star di­vine, il­lume our way,
That we may gain eter­nal day,
And live while end­less ages roll,
Safe shel­tered in Thy heav’n­ly fold. [Refrain]
