Within the Shining of a Star

Representative Text

1 Within the shining of a star
we catch a glimpse of who we are;
in every infant born we see
the hope of our nativity.

2 The miracle of each new birth
can shake and save the stony earth;
triumphantly the newborn’s cry
strikes echoes from the waiting sky.
