“Christmas Song,” Friend, Dec. 1973, 37 Christmas Song by Mabel Jones Gabbott and Michael F. Moody There was starlight on the hillside, And one star bent very low Till it passed above a stable On that night so long ago. There was music on the hillside On that night in Bethlehem. Heavenly hosts appeared to shepherds And the singing wakened them. There was Jesus in the manger, Born that night in Bethlehem, And the shepherds left the hillside And they came to worship him.
