Beautiful Star of Bethlehem by Crys Armbrust — Lyrics
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,
Shining afar thru shadows dim
Giving a light for those who long have gone;
Guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay.
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on.
Beautiful Star, the hope of light,
Guiding the pilgrims thru the night
Over the mountain till the break of dawn;

About Beautiful Star of Bethlehem
Crys Armbrust’s setting of Beautiful Star of Bethlehem is a devotional anthem for SATB choir, its English text focusing on the star’s symbolism during the Nativity. The lyrics draw parallels between the star guiding the wise men and pilgrims, and its ultimate representation of Christ’s divine light. The music is designed to evoke a sense of gentle hope and unwavering guidance, fitting for Christmas repertoire. Armbrust crafts a piece that emphasizes the star’s radiant promise, offering solace and direction. The choir’s four parts allow for rich harmonic textures to underscore the spiritual message of light overcoming darkness and leading to eternal rest.
