Star light, star bright
As I gaze on you tonight
I think of my Dear God above
Who sent His Son to be the Light.
Star light, star bright
What would make Him do this thing?
To send His Child to ease our plight
And make us soar on eagles' wings?
I saw Orion, with his belt
And heard the crickets through the trees
And thanked God for His love heartfelt
And all He daily does for me.
I heard the cooing of the dove
I think of God's unchanging love
Even though He knows all that we do
He still provides for me and you
And sent His Spirit from above
To remind us of what's true.
Oh, the wolf! Afar he howls
And I'm reminded of my trials,
But with thought alongside goes
How He is with me all the while:
My every single care He knows.
Oh, star light; Oh dear star bright!
I heard midnight on the bells.
These thoughts, my comfort through the night
As fast asleep I fell...
