A Star Shines Brightly High To tell a king he's nigh But Mary holds a baby No sound he makes, no cry She lays him in a manger This night he first is born To keep him safe from danger All on a Christmas morn She loved a boy so soft, so long She sings the crown and the thorn She sings of how she loves him so But still her heart is torn For all, all on a Christmas morn And while your baby's asleep Why, Mary, do you weep? His path you see to Calvary You see his wound so deep Your shoulder now his cross This night he first is born You gave him birth to die for us All on a Christmas morn She loved a boy so soft, so long She sings the crown and the thorn She sings of how she loves him so But still her heart is torn She loved a boy so soft, so long She sings the crown and the thorn She sings of how she loves him so But still her heart is torn For all, all on a Christmas morn All on a Christmas morn All on a Christmas morn
