From the recording Missing You : MP3
For He who died the we might live free.
Lyrics
That Distant Star by Arthur Sherry c 2016
Long Night, Darkness deep
Quiet tread, Camel's feet
Dusty road, Dusty Clothes.
Weary steps, Heavy load.
Following, from lands afar,
That Distant Star.
Shepherds quake, sudden sight.
Holy Choirs, Heavenly Light,
Angels sing, Joy to the meek,
A babe is born for those who seek.
Following from Lands afar,
That Distant Star.
High up in the Western Sky,
Brightly shining, Our Guide,
Heralding the Mortal Birth,
Our Lord and Savior, come to earth.
Maiden mild, God's first son.
Manger born, The Holy One,
Come to earth for we who fail,
Born to walk a lonely trail.
Traveling from worlds afar,
Parting darkness by....
That Distant Star.
