Twinkle Brightly Little Star

Twinkle brightly little star.

For my guess is that you're the Christmas beacon

that lit the path

for the wise and faithful kings,

who ruled with peace instead of wrath.

They worshipped You

and then bowed down

with human things,

gold and frankincense and mir.

And thus today we still sing

"We three kings of Orient are..."

a human song of love,

most precious love.

For Love is why our Lord comes here.

Love,

not wonder,

not might.

Love is what the babe,

sacred Jesus brings.

Not human agape

but God's own love.

Which unlike our own comes

without any strings.

Twinkle brightly little star.
