There arose above a star;
Such that none could ignore
What had been prophecy, thus far.
This night was as bright as day.
God's son was upon the Earth!
In the most miraculous way-
Of a virgin... for a humble birth.
Thus so in a foreign land
Christ believers were to be destroyed;
Their night was made bright and
This saved them.. they doubly rejoiced.
But many hearts stood still,
Unwilling to let Him in.
Lacking faith they could not feel,
They being prone to sin within.
Then... came the sign at His death-
The whole earth reeled to and fro.
Resurrected Jesus would come to them!
To those who would live, see, feel, and know.
So great the tempest and storm,
For hours light could not be seen!
Then God's voice announced the Lord
And He descended as though a dream.
With priesthood He set up His church.
Mosaic laws were put to rest.
He healed them and gave them time to search
In their hearts, how they had been so blessed.
He only stayed so long
As to have a record made-
To help them to be strong...
That their faithfulness would not fade.
All could not be written though-
As even babes were given words to say.
So wonderous His love to know,
For generations, peace came from that day.
Verse 1]
When Jesus Christ was born below,
A brilliant star arose;
No heart could miss the promised sign,
The prophecy disclosed.
[Chorus]
This night was bright as morning,
God’s Son had touched the earth;
Through humble hands and virgin grace,
The world received His birth.
[Verse 2]
In a distant foreign land,
Believers faced the sword;
Yet heaven turned their night to day
And guarded them with joy.
[Verse 3]
But many hearts stood still and closed,
Unwilling to receive;
Without the faith to feel His hand,
They chose the ways of sin.
[Chorus]
This night was bright as morning,
God’s Son had touched the earth;
Through humble hands and virgin grace,
The world received His birth.
[Verse 4]
Then at His death the whole earth shook,
The ground rolled to and fro;
For hours the light was hidden deep,
While grief lay down below.
[Bridge]
Then came the voice of God above,
And Christ descended there;
The risen Lord returned to them,
A presence beyond compare.
[Verse 5]
With priesthood He established truth,
And old laws reached their rest;
He healed the wounded, taught their hearts,
And showed how they were blessed.
[Verse 6]
He stayed the time required to leave
A record strong and clear,
That faith might hold through changing days
And courage persevere.
[Final Chorus]
Not all could fit within the page—
Even babes spoke words of grace;
How wondrous is the Savior’s love,
How bright His mercy’s trace.
[Outro]
From that day peace was handed down,
Through generations still;
The living Lord had come to them,
And comes to willing hearts who will
Now...still the story does not end,
As we have their written account;
And again He will descend-
As signs all around will mount.
Who has eyes to see?
And in their heart has room?
In faith, we all must seek
And let His love inside us bloom.
The time has been made full-
Soon He will come again to earth;
To forever reign and rule
That all might know rebirth.
Let us look towards this day-
With hope that is made bright.
Though the world in sin may sway,
In Christ, all will be made right.
The Book of Mormon message,
A second testimony of Christ,
(Made by those on this continent)
Shares forth, to the world, His light
Now...still the story does not end,
As we have their written account;
And again He will descend-
As signs all around will mount.
Who has eyes to see?
And in their heart has room?
In faith, we all must seek
And let His love inside us bloom.
The time has been made full-
Soon He will come again to earth;
To forever reign and rule
That all might know rebirth.
Let us look towards this day-
With hope that is made bright.
Though the world in sin may sway,
In Christ, all will be made right.
The Book of Mormon message,
A second testimony of Christ,
(Made by those on this continent)
Shares forth, to the world, His light
[Verse 1]
When Jesus Christ was born
There arose above a star;
Such that none could ignore
What had been prophecy, thus far.
Thus so in a foreign land
Christ believers soon to be destroyed;
Their night was made bright and
Skie's proof saved them.. they doubly rejoiced.
[Pre-Chorus]
Then... came the sign at His death-
The whole earth reeled to and fro.
Resurrected Jesus, soon came to them!
To those who would live, see, feel, and know.
[Chorus]
His light, His light
We cannot ignore His light
His light, His light
It will make the world right
[Verse 2]
Now...still the story does not end,
As we have their written account;
And again He will descend-
As signs all around will mount.
Who has eyes to see?
And in their heart has room?
In faith, we all must seek
And let His love inside us bloom.
[Pre-Chorus]
The time has been made full-
Soon He will come again to earth;
To forever reign and rule
That all might know rebirth.
[Chorus]
His light, His light
We cannot ignore His light
His light, His light
It will make the world right
[Bridge]
Let us look towards this day-
With hope that is made bright.
Though the world in sin may sway,
In Christ, all will be made right.
[Final Chorus]
His light, His light
We cannot ignore His light
His light, His light
It will make the world right
The Book of Mormon message,
A second testimony of Christ,
(Made by those on this continent)
Shares forth, to the world, His light
