There Is a Star That Shines Tonight
There is a star that shines tonight for all the world to see
So far away my lover is. Please, bring him home to me
The world is weary and unrest to settle on us all
Tonight my Christmas wish will be for all to heed the call
Peace on Earth and in our hearts
That love ring out, ring near and far
And lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
There is a star that shines tonight
Once the angel did appear to say, “Be not afraid.”
But the angels watching over you is the prayer that I will pray
And as we gather around the tree and sing those Christmas songs
Will hear your voice above the fray until you’re safely home
Peace on Earth and in our hearts
That love ring out, ring near and far
And lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
There is a star that shines for you and me
And while we wait for freedom’s bells to ring throughout the world
The Christmas wish remains the same of every boy and girl
That when that glorious sun does rise and melt away their fears
That you’ll be home this time to stay and waiting by the tree
Peace on Earth and in our hearts
That love ring out, ring near and far
Oh, and lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
There is a star, oh there is a star that shines for you and me
