[Verse 1]
       A              D        A        F#m      D        A
There is a star that shines tonight for all the world to see
    A           D    A           F#m       D      A
So far away my lover is, please bring him home to me
     A             D      A      F#m    D      A
The world is weary and unrest to settle on us all
   A                  D        A      F#m     D        A
Tonight my Christmas wish will be for all to heed the call


[Chorus]
          D        E       A      D/A A
Peace on earth and in our hearts
               D         E       F#m
Let love ring out, ring near and far
    A7/E       D             A
And lift the weary and the weak
          E        C#7       F#m
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
      E     D   E                A    D/A  E/A  D/A
There is a star  that shines tonight


[Verse 2]
  A             D     A      F#m     D     A
Once the angel did appear to say be not afraid
         A                D     A         F#m         D        A
That the angel's watching over you is the prayer that I will pray
     A             D         A       F#m         D         A
And as we gather 'round the tree and sing those Christmas songs
       A                 D        A    F#m         D      A
We'll hear your voice above the fray until you're safely home


[Chorus]
          D        E       A      D/A A
Peace on earth and in our hearts
               D         E       F#m
Let love ring out, ring near and far
    A7/E       D             A
And lift the weary and the weak
          E        C#7       F#m
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
      E     D   E                         A   D/A A
There is a star  that shines for you and me

[Verse 3]
     A                 D          A      F#m          D        A
And while we wait for freedom's bells to ring throughout the world
      A                D         A      F#m   D       A
The Christmas wish remains the same of every boy and girl
      A                  D        A       F#m   D           A
That when that glorious sun does rise and melt away their fears
      A                   D       A       F#m     D        A
That you'll be home this time to stay and waiting by the tree


[Chorus]
          D        E       A      D/A A
Peace on earth and in our hearts
               D         E       F#m
Let love ring out, ring near and far
    A7/E       D             A
And lift the weary and the weak
          E        C#7       F#m
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
      E     D   F#m
There is a star
         E     D
Oh there is a star
      E                 A
That shines for you and me
