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).

I’d Rather Have Jesus Lyrics

Song by Jim Reeves

I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I’d rather be His than have riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or land
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

I’d rather have Jesus than worldly applause
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
Yes, I’d rather be true to His holy name

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

The story of the Prodigal Son, which is found in Luke 15:11-32, revolves around the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and unconditional love.

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
