Lyrics

BRIGHT STAR OF BETHLEHEM Melanie McMillan

VERSE I:

O Bright Star
Of Bethlehem
Shining on
Christmas Night
O Light for
The Light of the World
May I wish
On you tonight?

Because you stand
For hope and peace
And all things
Bright and true
To my prayer may I add
A Christmas wish on you?

CHORUS:

Shine for the promise of no more greed
For no more hunger and no more need
Shine for the healing of the Earth
And glorify the Savior's birth

VERSE II:

O Bright Star
Of Bethlehem
That wise men
Still pursue
O higher love
Than in this world
Help us see
Your point of view


I humbly stand
Beneath your rays
Wondering if I might
Add another Christmas wish
To my prayer tonight?

CHORUS:

Shine on the soldier far from home
And those who lead us every one
Shine on our brothers in the East
Pour down your light of hope and peace



BRIDGE:

Shine for understanding, shine!
Illuminate our hearts and minds

CHORUS:

Shine for the promise of no more greed
For no more hunger
And no more need
Shine for the healing of the Earth
And glorify the Savior's birth

SHORT VERSE:

O Bright Star
Of Bethlehem
Shining on
Christmas night...
