The Star Carol

THE STAR CAROL

Long years ago on a deep winter night,

High in the heavens a star shone bright,

While in a manger a wee baby lay,

Sweetly asleep on a bed of hay.

Jesus, the Lord, was that baby so small,

Laid down to sleep in a humble stall;

Then came the star and it stood overhead,

Shedding its light 'round his little bed.

Dear Baby Jesus, how tiny thou art,

I'll make a place for thee in my heart,

And when the stars in the heavens I see,

Ever and always I think of thee.
