Twinkle, Twinkle, Christmas Star

Author: Grace C. Warren Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15313 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Twinkle, twinkle, Christmas star! Refrain First Line: Always show your bright, clear light Lyrics: 1 Twinkle, twinkle, Christmas star! Who can tell me what you are? Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky? Refrain: Always show your bright, clear light; Shine and sparkle thro’ the night; Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. 2 When the golden day is done, And the night is just begun, Then I’ll wait and watch for you, As you twinkle thro’ the blue. [Refrain] 3 When the night grows dark and chill, Then you shine more bright and still, And your kindly watch you keep While the little children sleep. [Refrain] 4 Little star, with you I’d shine, To His praise who is divine; Jesus is our glorious king; For Him children love to sing. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: OSHAWA
