Music is so essential to celebrating the Season of Christmas. Music has been paramount for me since I was a child and something I miss most about the music of "Christmases Past" is hearing Mrs. Reva Pearl violently and flawlessly play the piano and sing loudly and with great passion her favorite, yearly, signature, Holy Day, special song titled "O Beautiful Star of Bethlehem." I've heard it sung by numerous people but no one gives it the grand and glorious presentation like "Big Momma" did. (That was her beloved nickname.)
In case you have never heard the classic Christmas Carol, here is a YouTube of the Judds singing it and here also are the words. Enjoy it now, during "Christmas Present".

Star Of Bethlehem - Christmas Time With The Judds - YouTube
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shining far through shadows dimmed
Giving the light for those who long have gone
Guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay
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 dayIt will give out a lovely ray
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star) of Bethlehem (star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us a lamp to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star the hope, the grace
For the redeem the good and the blessed
Yonder in glory when the crown is won
Jesus is now the star divine
Brighter and brighter he will shine
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star) of Bethlehem (star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us a lamp to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem
Grateful
