Beautiful Star of Bethlehem

BEAUTIFUL STAR OF BETHLEHEM By Mattie Pearson Smith-1940 “saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ 1. Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine Over the hills of Palestine; There the child Jesus slumbereth sweet, And we would bow at His holy feet. Refrain Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine Over the hills of Palestine; Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine Over the hills of Palestine. 2. Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine, Shedding thy beauteous rays divine; Light the dark places held in sin’s thrall, Bringing thy peace and good-will to all. 3. Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine Into the hearts that faint and pine; Show the child Jesus, humble, but king, Born to compassion and comfort bring. 4. Beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine Over this earthly home of mine, How the child Jesus dwelling with me, Keepeth me pure and from sinning free.
