Star in beau­ty beam­ing,
On the sha­dowed plain,
O’er the val­leys gleam­ing,
Pour thy gold­en rain.
Shine in roy­al splen­dor,
Pilgrims hi­ther bring.
Shed thy ra­di­ance ten­der,
On the new­born King.

Refrain

Following the star,
Following the star,
Joyfully we jour­ney,
Pilgrims from afar.
Led by light ce­les­ti­al,
’Neath the starry skies,
March along with joy­ful song,
To where Mes­si­ah lies.

Star of light su­per­nal,
Lead along the way,
For the King eter­nal
Comes to earth to­day.
Deserts may be drea­ry,
Yet we joy­ful sing;
Can our feet be wea­ry,
Hastening to our king?

Refrain

Star of fade­less glo­ry,
By thy won­drous rays
Earth shall know the sto­ry,
Her Re­deem­er praise.
Thro’ the dark and dan­ger,
Faith our feet shall wing,
Till we reach the man­ger,
Till we see our king.
