Star of Wonder, Star of Light
We down here are not alright.
We’re lost and angry
Sad and scared
O brightest Star, we’re not prepared

The King is coming, so they say
So why do we impede His way?
Fear and hatred
Worry and shame
Darken the eternal Flame

We peer, bewildered, down the road
Exhausted by our crushing load
We can’t endure
We can’t go on
We cannot hear the angel song.

O  brightest Star, show us your Light
Let some small spark of Hope ignite
Our hearts are aching,  
Bruised and torn
We seek the Child who is born.

Unworthy as we all may be
We need the Peace that comes from Thee
Help us to share
Help us to learn
To Love, and give Love in return.
