Star of Hope, rising high, piecing the dark sky.<\/p>\n

Star of Hope, brilliant and bright, illuminating the blackest night.<\/p>\n

Star of Hope, for all to see, an invitation from the King.<\/p>\n

Star of Hope, blazing bright for you and me.<\/p>\n

Star of Hope, coming down to save and free.<\/p>\n

Star of Hope, pointing onward, drawing near.<\/p>\n

Star of Hope, Immanuel, Do Not Fear.<\/p>\n

Star of Hope, Love wrapped warm, waiting here.<\/p>\n

Jesus, our Morning Star, long expectant hope.<\/p>\n

Jesus, rising light, pierced for our darkest night.<\/p>\n

Jesus, brilliant and bright, here to stay, illuminating our way.<\/p>\n

Jesus waiting here in this empty space, in the long expectant ache.<\/p>\n

Jesus, beacon of hope, light of life, pointing onward, ever near.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place\u2014until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.\u201d
