Mystical Light
The dark, black sky changes into midnight blue.
The clear, cold air permeates, chilling through.
The silver stars are twinkling and smiling.
The irridescent moon is beguiling.
An enormous star appears from nowhere,
Alerting the world that Jesus is here.
Casting its light on a peasant's poor place,
It illuminates the Babe's newborn face.
His heavenly halo is all aglow
With holy radiance in Supreme show.
As shepherd's flock, adoring angels sing.
Thus heralds the birth of Savior and King.
The wise men arrive from lands afar,
Bearing gifts after following a star.
Gathered together on this holy night
Is a miracle scene, seen in mystical light.
