THE FATHERS LIGHT

You see them as the pagan and the sage
Traveling from kingdoms afar
The prophecies they read from ancient page
The son of God revealed by holy star

Oh Pilgrims… Oh Pilgrims…
Bow before the child
Lift Him up to skies of night
And gaze afar to Bethlehem’s star
Give your gifts to the Father’s Light

You see them as the dirty and the poor
Outcasts tending sheep in frozen night
But angels broke the night with holy song
Singing praises in their glorious light

Oh Shepherds… Oh Shepherds…
Bow before the child
Lift Him up to skies of night
And gaze afar to Bethlehem’s star
Hold to heart the Father’s Light

You'd think that He was just a normal child
Asleep within the arms of lonely girl
But the baby ever fearful and fragile
Was the Saviour God of the world

Oh Mary… Oh Mary…
Bow before your child
Lift Him up to skies of night
And gaze afar to Bethlehem’s star
Know you hold the Father’s Light

A night like none before
Was the night that God was born
This child He came for all
Jesus bringing the life on new dawn

And now we…
Bow before the child
Lift Him up to skies of night
And gaze afar to heavenly star
We will behold the Father’s Light
