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 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 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
