Stars Were Gleaming

Lyrics
Verse 1
Stars were gleaming, shepherds dreaming; And the night was dark and chill.
Angels’ story rang with glory; Shepherds heard it on the hill.
Ah, that singing! Hear it ringing, Earthward winging, Christmas bringing!
Hearken! We can hear it still!
Verse 2
See the clearness and the nearness Of the blessed Christmas star,
Leading, guiding; wise men riding Through the desert dark and far.
Lovely showing, shining, growing, Onward going, gleaming, glowing,
Leading still, our Christmas star!
