Sweet my soul in soaring flight
Hidden in your word of life

Stay mountain, stay cloud
This word I must sing out aloud

Pause a moment wish that star
For it's shinning in realms afar

All of me reaching out to thee
Echos returning your love for me

Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia

STARRY STARRY NIGHT
on a cold wintry night
sparks of his historical birth

warmth of innocence that night
touched every grain of desert sand

a saviour there lay at night
happy the word for his coming

silencing the winds of the night
into the light of a thousand stars

yet brighter shone in the night
his manger star a guiding light
