The Star of the East Songtext
von Judy Garland

Star of the East, oh Bethlehem′s star
Guiding us on to heaven afar
Sorrow and grief are lulled by thy light
Thou hope of each mortal in death's lonely night


Fearless and tranquil we look up to thee
Knowing thou beamst through eternity
Help us to follow where thou still dost guide
Pilgrims of earth so wide

Oh star that leads to God above
Whose rays are peace and joy and love
Watch o′er us still 'til life hath ceased
Beam on, bright star, sweet Bethlehem's star

Star of the East, thou hope of the soul
While ′round us here the dark billows roll
Lead us from sin to glory afar
Thou star of the East, thou sweet Bethlehem′s star
