[Intro, Soft piano and strings]
Oh, the night is calm and still,
A star shines bright upon the hill.
Guiding hearts, both near and far,
The hope of peace, the Star of Bethlehem.
[Verse 1, Gentle orchestral build]
Silent whispers fill the air,
A promise born, beyond compare.
Angels singing, voices soar,
Bringing light forevermore.
[Chorus, Angelic choir and soaring strings]
Star of Bethlehem, shining bright,
A beacon of love in the darkest night.
Through the ages, your light will stay,
Guiding our hearts on Christmas Day.
[Verse 2, Warm strings and soft bells]
Shepherds came with humble grace,
To see the child, the holy face.
Wise men traveled, gifts in hand,
Drawn by your light across the land.
[Bridge, Emotional swell with harp and choir]
Oh, Star of wonder, Star of light,
Through the shadows, you ignite.
A flame of love, a guiding ray,
That leads us home, forever to stay.
[Chorus, Full orchestra and choir harmonies]
Star of Bethlehem, shining bright,
A beacon of love in the darkest night.
Through the ages, your light will stay,
Guiding our hearts on Christmas Day.
[Outro, Soft piano, fading strings]
Oh, the night is calm and still,
A star shines bright upon the hill.
Guiding hearts, both near and far,
The everlasting Star of Bethlehem.
