D
1. When marshaled on the nightly plain
               Em              G
The glittering host bestud the sky.
           D 
One star alone of all the train
              Em   -  A        D 
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye


                D 
2. Hark to the Lord, the chorus breaks,
            Em              G
From every host, from every gem;
          D 
But one alone the Savior speaks,
            Em     A     D 
It is the Star of Bethlehem.


CHORUS:
              A         G         D 
   It was my guide, my light, my all,
              Em               G
   It made my dark forebodings cease;
                    A        G         D 
   And through the storm and danger's thrall
             Em              G               D 
   It led me to my Prince of Peace, one star alone
                                          * (D  - B7)
                                          * KEYCHANGE to Verse 4
               D 
3. In darkness fright, my vitals froze
           Em               G
The stormy sea, I failed to stem
           D 
When suddenly a star arose
           Em   -  A     D 
It was the Star of Bethlehem

                 (CHORUS 1X)

              E
4. Now safely moored, my perils o'er,
                F#m           A
I'll sing first in night's diadem
       E
Forevermore, and evermore
              F#m      B     E
The Star, the Star of Bethlehem.


CHORUS (2X):
              B         A        E
   It was my guide, my light, my all,
               F#m              A
   It made my dark forebodings cease; 
                    B         A        E
   And through the storm and danger's thrall
             F#m              A               
   It led me to my Prince of Peace (repeat chorus)
             E                 E
   One star alone... One star alone...
