A Star Stood Still (Song Of The Nativity)
Year: 1962
Written By: Johnny Broderick, Barbara Ruth
Johnny Broderick and Barbara Ruth's song 'A Star Stood Still (Song
of The Nativity)' was made famous by gospel singer Mahalia Jackson.
Jackson was all about the voice and no matter how pretty the music
it just struggled to compete with the power and ingenuity of her
singing. 'A Star Stood Still (Song of The Nativity)' appeared on
Jackson's 1962 album 'Silent Night (Songs for Christmas)' which
includes her wondrous reworking of 'Silent Night'. Given the
competition not many other artists have attempted to record this
song.
A Star Stood Still (Song Of The Nativity) Lyrics
And we shall share
In the glory of love
Near Bethlehem
The wind has seen
The lamb lay sleeping
On the hill
When all that lay
Was steeped with peace
Then lo, a star stood still
A star stood still
On yonder hill
Praise God that star still
Shining still
And we shall share
In the glory of love
Because a star stood still
That night a star stood still
A star stood still
On yonder hill
Praise God that star still
Shining still
And we shall share
In the glory of love
Because a star stood still
That night a star stood still
