1 O lovely star that shone so bright,
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
To lead the wise men on their way,
Where Christ our Lord and Savior lay.

Refrain:
Hark! hark! the chorus sounding still,
From snowy vale and distant hill;
The angel breathes to earth again,
"Peace! peace on earth, good will to men."

2 O star that shone in brightness there,
Above the Babe, so sweet and fair,
Again you beam above the earth,
And tell the Savior’s endless worth. [Refrain]

3 O lovely star! each cloud of gloom
Thy beaming rays of joy illume!
And all our sorrow dies away,
When thou has brought Messiah’s day. [Refrain]

4 Hosanna! to the Lord our king!
In cheerful voices we will sing,
Good angels answer us again:
"Peace! peace on earth, good will to men." [Refrain]
