THE STAR CAROL
(Written by Wihla Hutson / Alfred S. Burt) (1954)


Long years ago on a deep winter night,
High in the heav'ns 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.
