Bethlehem's Star

Author: Fanny B. Earle Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14263 Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: Wise men in the East, we’re told Lyrics: 1 Wise men in the East, we’re told, Did a wondrous star behold; Gem of Heaven’s diadem, ’Twas the Star of Bethlehem. 2 They beheld it from afar, Knew it was their guiding star; To the Christ Child leading them; Blessèd Star of Bethlehem. 3 Gifts they brought of wealth untold, Myrrh and frankincense and gold; And they knelt their vows to pay, To the King on this glad day.
