Proud Star of Bethlehem

As darkness fell that holy night And people slept so unaware From Heaven shone a wondrous light That fell upon a manger there A sacred light so rare and true Yet only seen by just a few A matchless light of radiance fair A Father's love glows brightly there The light of Christ still shines today For those who seek to know His way Oh wondrous gift that we may see The light of God's eternity One day on distant Heaven's shore We'll thrill to what we have in store A city bright with Heaven's light A perfect homeland evermore No darkness there, nor can there be For this is God's eternity Where beauty reigns and Christ is King And light illumines everything.
