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 heath 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 angle did appear

to say be not afraid

but the angles 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 your 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 freedoms 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 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
