A Star Shone Bright
A star shone bright in Eastern sky
two thousand years ago
as angels sang their hymns on high
to let the whole world know.
They sang their praise, their greeting bring
as bells in heaven start to ring
They sang their praise…
They sang their praise
to Jesus Christ the Savior King.
A star shone bright in Eastern sky
while shepherds in the fields
watched o’er their flock with mindful eye
as good news was revealed.
They heard the hymns the angels sang
down on their knees the shepherds sprang
They heard the hymns…
they heard the hymns
as bells in heaven softly rang.
A star shone bright in Eastern sky,
gave signal to the world
that Christ child lie in crib nearby;
the future was unfurled.
He came to earth amid the din
and mankind’s journey did begin
He came to earth…
He came to earth
to save us from our deadly sin.
