Beautiful Star of Bethlehem

                G
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem
                  C                               G
Shining afar through shadows dim
                   G                         D
Giving the light to those who long have gone
                    G
Guiding the Wise Men on their way
               C                    G
Unto the place where Jesus lay
                G            A7    D   G,C,G
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,      shine   on

Chorus:
       G
Oh Beautiful Star
                      G         D       G
                      (Beautiful, Beautiful Star)
      C  G
Of Bethlehem
                   G   D   G
                 (Star of Bethlehem)
G                              A7  D
Shine upon us until the glory       dawns
                    G                  G7
Give us the light to light the way
               C               G
Unto the land of perfect day
               G              A7   D  G,C,G
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,      shine    on

Beautiful Star the hope of light
Guiding the pilgrims through the night
Over the mountains 'til the break  of dawn
Into the light of perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,     shine   on

(repeat chorus)
Beautiful Star the hope of rest
For the redeemed, the good and the blessed
Yonder in glory when the crown is won
Jesus is now that star divine
Brighter and brighter He will shine
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,       shine on
