Lyrics

It was the eve of Christmas The snow lay deep and white I sat beside my window And looked into the night I heard the church bells ringing I saw the bright star shine And childhood came again to me With all its dreams divine Then, as I listened to the bells And watched the skies afar Out of the East, majestic There rose one radiant star And every other star Grew pale before the heavenly glow It seemed to bid me follow And I could not choose but go It seemed to bid me follow And I could not choose but go And then, 'neath waters faded I rose as on orn wings Beyond the waste of ruin'd life The precious human things Above the toil and shadow Above the swamps and moor My old self and its darkness Seem'd left on earth below And onward, upward shone the star Until it seem'd to me It dash'd upon the golden gate And o'er the crystal sea And then the gate roll'd upward I stood where angels trod It was the star! The star of Bethlehem Had led me up to God The star! The star! Had led me up to God!
