That guides the shepherds thro' the night
To where the blessed Saviour lay,
In Bethlehem's manger far away.

Thy beams of love and Christmas cheer,
And angels sing the song again
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

And gather 'round like Magi old,
Or shepherds, hast'ning from the fold. [Chorus]

That we may gain eternal day,
And live while endless ages roll,
Safe sheltered in Thy heav'nly fold. [Chorus] Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [O lovely star in heav'n so bright]
