There Was Starlight on the Hillside

Lyrics
Verse 1
There was starlight on the hillside, And one star bent very low
Till it passed above a stable On that night so long ago.
Verse 2
There were shepherds on the hillside On that night in Bethlehem.
Heav’nly hosts appeared, proclaiming Joyous tidings unto them.
Verse 3
There was Jesus in the manger, Born that night in Bethlehem.
And the shepherds left the hillside, And they came to worship him.
