It twinkles high above the earth

Once glistened on a royal birth—

Encircled by an angel’s choir

Proclaiming God’s desire.

Shepherds feared that dazzling light

Attending their sheep that blessed night

It lured wise men from afar—

Vowed to follow this shining star.

Jesus was born in a cattle stall

Found wrapped in a shabby shawl

Beneath a clear night sky—

His mother Mary sits nearby.

No matter where we are

You can see the Christmas star—

Look within your heart He called,

It’s the brightest star of all.
