Stars were gleaming, shepherds dreaming;
And the night was dark and chill.
Angels' story rang with glory;Shepherds heard it on the hill.Ah, that singing! Hear it ringing,
Earthward winging, Christmas bringing!
Hearken! We can hear it still!
See the clearness and the nearnessOf the blessed Christmas star,
Leading, guiding; wise men ridingThrough the desert dark and far.Lovely showing, shining, growing,
Onward going, gleaming, glowing,Leading still, our Christmas star!

.
Stars were GleamingWhen I started teaching the song, I asked them questions about the song like what were the stars doing and what gleaming means, what were the shepherds doing, what the night was like. What the angels were doing and why. We found rhyming words. All that helps. When we got to the "
ing
" words I had them listen for the ing words and tell me what they were. We talked about what they all meant which gave us many times to repeat
repeat repeat. I also made up actions for each of the ing words - that helps too.
