I am working on a seperate score for Handbells Only, but it's really the same as the Anthem.
If you use it, please send me a recording that I may use on this site, and for seeking publication.
This is the chorale music from my   “Sweet Jesus Take my Hand” 
 
Rehearse one & you can easily sing the other.

Lyrics

The star of Jacob, shining bright, does fill the night,
with beams of light that show the way,
and greet the Savior, born today.

  The wise men who came from afar,
are Magi, following the star.
The shepherds too have come this way,
to praise the newborn King today.

  The advent of our Lord is here,
and Jesus is born again each year.
The Gladsome light of Jesus gleams,
and Christmas stories fill our dreams.

Like wise men we have gifts to bring,
and songs of Christmas that we sing.
And now our Lord, who came so small,
slips once more through the eye of the awl.
