Cat. #0086 (MFH #33) - As sung by Mr. J. W. Breazeal, Springfield, Missouri on April 27, 1958

VERSE 1
O, beautiful star of Bethelhem
Shining afar thru shadows dim
Giving your light for those who long have gone
And guiding th wisemen on their way
Unto th place where Jesus lay
Beautiful star of Bethelhem, shine on

CHORUS
O, beautiful star of Bethelhem
Shine upon us until th glory dawn
O, give us thy light to light th way
Into th land of perfect day
Beautiful star of Bethelhem, shine on

VERSE 2
O, beautiful star of hope, of light
Guiding th pilgrims thru th night
Over th mountain till th break of dawn
And into th light of perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Beautiful star of Bethelhem, shine on

VERSE 3
O, beautiful star, the hope of rest
For the redeemed, the good and bless'd
Yonder in glory when the crown is won
For Jesus is now that star devine
Brighter and brighter, he will shine
Beautiful star of Bethelhem, shine on
