(Star of Bethlehem quilt, circa 1870)
On a dark, clear night
Under one bright star
A child to us was born.
No one could know what lay ahead
The ecstasy, the sorrow.
On a dark, clear night
Under one bright star
A child began to give HIs life for ours.
In the still and calm we were saved
As the chosen babe arrived.
On a dark, clear night
Under one bright star
Stranger came together.
In whispered faith they proclaimed
The word of God fulfilled.
On a dark, clear night
Under one bright star
The world received a savior.
His name remains among us still
As we sing His praise on this dark, clear night.
