Star over Bethlehem, a translation of Stern űber Bethlehem
Star over Bethlehem
1. Star over Bethlehem
Show us the way
Lead us to the crib again
Stand where it may
Please shine upon our path
To the manger mild
Star over Bethlehem
Show us the child.
2. Star over Bethlehem
Now you stand still
So that we all can see
God’s wondrous will
Imagine what happened!
No one thought it might
Star over Bethlehem
On that cold night
3. Star over Bethlehem
We have arrived
In this poor stall in which
Such goodness hides.
We’re filled with thankfulness
To our guide so dear
Star over Bethlehem
We’re staying here.
4. Star over Bethlehem
We’re going home.
Your warm and holy light
In us has shone
And all the happiness
We can’t wait to share
Star over Bethlehem
Follow us there.
