[Verse 1]
Shine over lake and shore
Shine in the distance
Starlighted by the lord
Shine in the heavens
Oh, star of Bethlehem
Lead home, but not astray

[Chorus]
Children and shepherds
Joyfully follow thee
Shine bright for humankind
Shine bright and show our way

[Verse 2]
Light over Judea
Light over Sion
Far in the western sky, slumbers Orion
Shepherds in darker deep
Children who sweetly sleep

[Bridge]
Wake to the wondrous sound of heavenly choir
Be oh, the northern star
Bright shining in the east
[Verse 3]
On shall we shout to them
Glad voices calling
Joy for the welcoming
Safe to the fall
Oh, star of Bethlehem
Lean on my modern stray

[Chorus]
Children and shepherds
Joyfully follow thee
Shine bright for humankind
Shine bright and show our way
