There Was Starlight On The Hillside - Primary Song

This week I am going to begin teaching the Christmas Song
"There Was Starlight On The Hillside"
on page 40 in the Childrens Song Book

Verse 1
Read Matthew 2:2
On a chalk board illustrate a hill with stars in the sky.

Sing
There was starlight on the hillside


Read Luke 2:12
Illustrate a large star

Sing
And one star bent very low

Illustrate a stable under the large star

sing
Till it passed above a stable
on that night so long ago

Verse 2
Read Luke 2:8
Illustrate shepherd's on the hill with sheep

sing
There were shepherd's on the hillside
On that night in Bethlehem

Read Luke 2:13
Illustrate an angel above the stable

sing
Heavn'ly hosts appeared, proclaiming
joyous tidings unto them.

Verse 3
Read Luke 2:12
Illustrate Jesus in the manger

sing
There was Jesus in the manger.
Born that night in Bethlehem

Read Luke 2:15-16
Illustrate the shepherds by the stable

sing
And the shepherds left the hillside
And they came to worship him.







I want to teach the words to the song and then work on parts in December to get ready for the Christmas Day Program.  I will have the girls sing the melody and the boys sing the harmony.
