Softly beaming, brightly gleaming, See yon lovely star; Glad good news it brings to men, For in little Bethlehem, In a manger lies a Stranger, Christ the Lord and King, Come to earth salvation unto all to bring. Refrain Guiding star, O shine upon our path today, As of old, still lead us with thy beauteous ray; By thy light reveal to us the King of love, Till at last we sing His praise above. Angels singing, earthward winging, From the realms of light; Hover over Judah’s plain, Lifting high a joyous strain, Wondrous story, peace and glory, Is their matchless theme, For the wondrous Infant shall from sin redeem. Refrain Waiting sages, through the ages, Of His coming told; God with us—Emmanuel, Now with sinful man doth dwell; High and holy, meek and lowly, God and man is He, Born today with pow’r divine our souls to free.
