Beautiful Star of Bethlehem Lyrics

Oh, beautiful Star of Bethlehem
Shining afar thru shadows dim,
Giving a light for those who long have gone (have gone),
And guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).

CHORUS
Oh, beautiful Star (beautiful, beautiful Star),
Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem),
Shine upon us until the glory dawn (glory dawn);
Oh, give us Thy light to light the way into the land of perfect day,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).

Oh, beautiful Star, the hope of light,
Guiding the pilgrim thru the night.
Over the mountain till the break of dawn (the dawn),
And into the light of perfect day it will give out a lovely ray,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).

CHORUS
Oh, beautiful Star (beautiful, beautiful Star),
Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem),
Shine upon us until the glory dawn (glory dawn);
Oh, give us Thy light to light the way into the land of perfect day,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).

Oh, beautiful Star, the hope of rest,
For the redeemed the good and blest.
Yonder in glory when the crown is won (is won).
For Jesus is now that Star divine,
Brighter brighter He will shine.
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).

CHORUS
Oh, beautiful Star (beautiful, beautiful Star),
Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem),
Shine upon us until the glory dawn (glory dawn);
Oh, give us Thy light to light the way into the land of perfect day,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on).

“The Prodigal Son,” performed by The Cathedrals featuring Glenn Payne, is a stirring rendition that brings to life one of the most beloved parables from the Bible. The story of the Prodigal Son, which is found in Luke 15:11-32, revolves around the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Through Payne’s powerful voice and the ensemble’s harmonies, the performance captures the emotional journey of the wayward son who, after squandering his inheritance on reckless living, returns home in shame and regret. The Cathedrals, renowned for their rich harmonies and uplifting gospel music, infuse the narrative with a sense of hope and reconciliation.

The Cathedrals was an American southern gospel music group formed in the late 1960s. Known for their rich harmonies and powerful vocal arrangements, the group became a staple in the southern gospel genre. Their distinctive blend of traditional hymns and contemporary songs resonated with audiences, earning them numerous awards and accolades over the years. From 1964 through 1999, a group many cite as the finest example of Southern Gospel quartet singing ever, toured the nation and the world. The Cathedrals, a Christian quartet that consisted of Ernie Haase, Scott Fowler, Glen Payne, George Younce, Danny Funderburk, and Roger Bennett, hailed from the south and started in 1964. Their charismatic performances and heartfelt messages captured the hearts of fans across the United States and beyond. The Cathedrals’ influence can still be felt today, as they paved the way for many modern gospel artists. They disbanded in 1999, but their legacy endures through timeless recordings and the continued appreciation of their music by new generations of listeners.

The Prodigal Son Lyrics


1. Like the prodigal son I wandered in darkness
And I traded my life for a world of good time
No peace in my heart I ever could find
And I got so tired feeding after the swine

(Chorus)
So I believe I’ll go home and eat with the Father
The table is spread and they’re waiting for me
I can see the Father coming out to greet me
“Lord I’m willing to be just a servant for Thee”

2. Like the prodigal son I wandered from Jesus
But the Good Shepherd saw through the heat and the cold
The ninety and nine He left in the fold
Just to find this lost sheep that was hungry and cold
