High over Bethlehem
A still, small star shines;
Left heralding angels
One glory behind;
Soft now, a tender flood
Of light falls through the eaves;
As babe and Mary rest awhile,
The star whispers peace.

There’s a new star over Bethlehem,
The darkness undone;
A new star over Bethlehem
For Mary's new Son..
Steady through the night,
Sure and fast,
Leads the wise men on,
Here at last,
A new star over Bethlehem:
The promised light has come.

Peace fills the blind child
Who knows only night
As starlight caresses
With promise of sight;
Peace finds the Prodigal
Who ever longs for home;
As peace flows over Galilee,
Do fishermen know?

There’s a new star over Bethlehem,
The darkness undone;
A new star over Bethlehem
For Mary's new Son.
Steady through the night,
Sure and fast,
Leads the wise men on,
Here at last,
A new star over Bethlehem:
The promised light has come.

Here on this Christmas
May that peaceful light grow,
A sign and a symbol
The faithful still know.
For in Gethsemane,
His perfect love prevails;
And over lonely Calvary
His Light never fails.

There’s a new star over Bethlehem,
The darkness undone;
A new star over Bethlehem
For Mary's new Son.
Steady through the night,
Sure and fast,
Leads us safely home,
Home at last,
A new star over Bethlehem:
The promised light has come.
