I'm looking for the music that goes with the song "The Christmas Star" by I.H. Meredith. The words are by Edith Tillotson. The song is perfect for our Christmas program this year, but I can't find the music. I only find the words. Can someone help me find the music? Thanks

Here's the tune that Aled Jones sings.

There are some errors in the lyrics given in the lyric thread
v1: Smiling AND radiant
v1: "enchantment" is not correct; it sounds like "in ..." but at the moment I can't make out what.

v2: Angels in chorus TOGETHER sing

I'll see if I can find out the missing word.

Finally got it:

  Smiling and radiant is shone from far

I'll post the corrections to the lyrics thread too.

Correction that should be:

  Smiling and radiant is shone from afar
