Behold the Star

Representative Text

Refrain:
Behold that star!
Behold that star up yonder!
Behold that star!
It is the star of Bethlehem.

1. There was no room found in the in;
This is the star of Bethlehem.
For him who was born free from sin.
This is the star of Bethlehem.

2. The wise men came on from the East;
This is the star of Bethlehem.
To worship him, the Prince of Peace.
This is the star of Bethlehem.

3. A song broke forth upon the night;
This is the star of Bethlehem.
From angel hosts all robed in white.
This is the star of Bethlehem.
