STAR OF MY HEART
Solo 1: Star of my heart, I follow from afar.
Sweet love on high, lead on where shepherds are,
O lead me to Jehova’s child
Across this dreamland lone and wild,
There will I speak this prayer unsaid,
And kiss his little haloed head—
“My star and I, we love thee, little child.”
All: Except the
In dreams of all men, saints and sons of shame,
The world will never see his kingdom bright.
Solo 1: Star of all hearts, lead onward through
the night
Past death-black deserts: doubts without a name
Past hills of pain and mountains of new sin
To that far sky where mystic births begin
Where dreaming ears the angel song shall win.
All: Our Christmas shall be rare at dawning there,
And each shall find his brother fair,
Like a little child within:
Solo 1: All hearts of the earth shall find new
birth
And wake, no more to sin.
