SAB Evening Star - Morning Star Matthew 2:10-11
The minor-to-major harmony captures the significance of the title itself.
It isn't at all hard to hear the east-to-west journey of the Wisemen,
as they go in search of the Infant King - the Light of the World.
Lyrics:You made this star to shine so bright;
It's like a diamond in charge of the night;
You gave this star its radiant light
To guide our steps to the Promised One.
Evening Star, you know the way to the Infant King.
Evening Star, you know the way to Him.
From faraway lands, across desert sands,
We come in search of the Treasure of Treasures.
Evening Star, please lead us to God's Son.
[Interlude - 10 measures]
You made this star to show the way.
It drew these wisemen to Your bed of hay.
You gave this star its brilliant rays
To guide their steps to the Promised One.
Evening Star, you showed the way to the Infant King.
Evening Star, you knew the way to Him.
From faraway lands, across desert sands
They came in search of the Treasure of Treasures.
Evening Star, you led them to God's Son.
When morning came the star grew dim,
But a gentle glow remained within.
The Light of the World was resting there;
He conquers darkness ev'rywhere.
Morning Star, You made a way to the Father.
Morning Star, You are the Way to Him.
From heaven above You brought us Your love.
Your precious blood is the Treasure of Treasures.
Morning Star, what a wonder You are!
What a wonder You are! You are!
