1. When marshaled on the nightly plain
The glittering host bestud the sky.
One star alone of all the train
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye

2. Hark to the Lord, the chorus breaks,
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Savior speaks,
It is the Star of Bethlehem.

     It was my guide, my light, my all,
     It made my dark forebodings cease;
     And through the storm and danger's thrall
     It led me to my Prince of Peace, one star alone

3. In darkness fright, my vitals froze
The stormy sea, I failed to stem
When suddenly a star arose
It was the Star of Bethlehem

     It was my guide, my light, my all,
     It made my dark forebodings cease;
     And through the storm and danger's thrall
     It led me to my Prince of Peace, one star alone

4. Now safely moored, my perils o'er,
I'll sing first in night's diadem
Forevermore, and evermore
The Star, the Star of Bethlehem.

     It was my guide, my light, my all,
     It made my dark forebodings cease;
     And through the storm and danger's thrall
     It led me to my Prince of Peace! (repeat chorus)
     One star alone...
