When Jesus Christ, a little child 
in Bethlehem, was born,
There shone a star across the wild 
more glorious than the morn.
It glow'd and gleam'd it blazed and beam'd 
Above the lonely hill;
Ah, blessed star of Bethlehem,
It lights the nations still
Ah, star of Bethlehem.
When Jesus Christ, a little child 
in Bethlehem, was born,
Ah, blessed star of Bethlehem.
