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'll think of thee
