English text
- 1.
- High above the weary world, amid the stars of heaven
- To men of old a wondrous sign of peace and hope was given
- A brighter star was kindled there, to reign among the skies
- To mark the way to Bethlehem and everlasting light
- And high above the weary world, for eyes to see that will
- The star of Bethlehem will shine for those who seek him still
- 2.
- High above the weary world it shone upon their road
- And thus it led the wise men on, to seek a poor abode
- And is there now no humble home to which its light may lead?
- No quiet need? No tears of grief? No hungering soul to feed?
- Look high above the weary world -- for eyes to see that will,
- The star of Bethlehem will shine for those who seek him still
- 3.
- High above the weary world his star still shines for me
- It bids me seek the Holy Child, adoring on bended knee
- It beckons me through ages past, by countless years undimmed
- It bids me serve his children now, thus to worship him
- And high above the weary world, for eyes to see that will
- The star of Bethlehem will shine for those who seek him still.
