Beautiful Star of Bethlehem - learn lead, harmony and play along - Bluegrass 101

Written by R. Fisher Boyce. When R. Fisher couldn’t concentrate due to his children making too much noise in the house, he walked across the road to the barn and wrote the song. His daughter, Nanny Lou, worked with her father later that day at the piano, putting music to the lyrics. R. Fisher received a one-time payment for the song, and publishing rights (and royalties) went to Adger M. Pace, Music Editor for Vaughan publications. In April of 1964, The Stanley Brothers recorded a version of “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem” and released it on their album “Hymns of the Cross.” Featured prominently is the cross-picking of George Shuffler. Ralph Stanley would record the song once again in 1977 with Keith Whitley on vocals, on the album “Clinch Mountain Gospel.” Larry Sparks, Rhonda Vincent, and Emmy Lou Harris have also recorded versions, just to name a few. Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent also recorded a beautiful version of the song (available on the compilation album “Christmas Grass Volume 2”). The Stanley Brothers sang the song as a trio, with “high baritone.” However, it is also sung as a duet. I Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem IV I Shining far through shadows dimmed II V Giving a life to those who long have gone I And guiding the wise men on their way IV I Unto the place where Jesus lay II V I IV I Beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem Shine upon us until the glory dawn Give us the light to light the way Unto the land of perfect day Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on Oh beautiful star the hope of light Guiding the pilgrims through the night Over the mountains 'till the break of dawn Into the land of perfect day It will give out a lovely ray Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on Chorus Oh beautiful star the hope, the grace For the redeem of good and blessed Yonder in glory when the crowd is one For Jesus is now the star divine Brighter and brighter he will shine Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on Chorus
