Beyond The Moon And Stars

Refrain
Beyond the moon and stars, as deep as night,
So great our hunger, Lord, to see your light.
The sparrow finds her home beneath your wing,
So may we come to rest where angels sing.
Verse 1
Our eyes have longed to see your loving face,
To live within your courts for all our days.
Verse 2
Your roads have led us, Lord, ‘cross desert sand.
We place our hopes and dreams within your hand.
Verse 3
Upon our darkness, Lord, a light has shone.
You came to dwell with us in flesh and bone.

O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.

O come, O Wisdom from on high, who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show and teach us in its ways to go.
