Product Description
With a flute part that really lends a Middle-Eastern feel to the accompaniment, the text tells the story of "The Star", shining in the night sky, guiding the wise men to Jesus, where they gave their gifts to Him...the One who made the star." The melody is rhythmic, but the ranges are very accessible.
Lyrics
The star was shining brightly in the eastern sky
The star was shining nightly and some wise men wondered why
Why was the star so bright
Why did it shine each night
The star was shining brightly in the eastern sky
The star was shining brightly over Bethlehem
The star was shining nightly as it led their caravan
Guiding the wise men to a far off land
The star was shining brightly over Bethlehem
Why was the star so bright
Why did it shine each night
The star was shining nightly and wise men wondered why
The star led them to Judah to lowly Bethlehem
The star led them to Jesus and the gave their gifts to Him
They gave gifts of gold, they gave Him frankincense and myrrh
They knelt and worshiped Him
The One who made the star
