The wise men of old saw a beautiful star,
Led on by it's glory they traveled afar;
O'er mountain and valley 'til wanderings past,
Their gifts at the feet of the Savior they cast
Refrain:
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Scatter the shadows of sin far away,
Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day
The star of the east was the herald of day,
The light everlasting that fades not away;
It's beams rising higher, O hasten and see,
The Light of the world shines for you and for me
Refrain:
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Scatter the shadows of sin far away,
Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day
The star of His Word guards His people today,
To sweet joy in Jesus 'tis leading the way
Then still let us follow and lovingly bring
Our hearts and our off'rings to Jesus our King
Refrain:
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Scatter the shadows of sin far away,
Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day
To those who in darkness are straying afar,
We'll show the pure rays of the beautiful star
We'll tell them of Jesus, that at His dear feet,
The saved of all nations shall joyfully meet
Refrain:
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Beautiful beautiful star of the east
Scatter the shadows of sin far away,
Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day
