1. The wand'ring shepherds watch'd their flocks Away o'er yonder distant hill, Where quiet beauty laid in sleep, And sounds of work and toil were still, When lo! a star of light appear'd, that guided, yea, and beck-on'd them, To worship while in awe they fen'd; It was the Star of Bethlehem <i>Refrain</i>: O beauteous star! O hallowed star, That shone in yonder eastern sky, When holy angels from afar Sang glory be to God on high. 2. Then glory fill'd the earth around, While hallelujahs rend the air. Behold! the Infant Jesus there, A lowly Babe was slumb'ring there. The wise men brought their gifts of love, And homage pure to Bethlem's King. Now we would offer up our hearts While praises to His name we sing. (<i>Refrain</i>)
