Song of the Week, Part 2: Cliff and Danielle Young's "Silver Starlight"

Merry Christmas! Throughout the month of December, the "Song of the Week" feature of this weblog has taken you around the candles of the Advent Wreath.

The first candle was to remember the hope of the prophecies of Christ's coming. The second candle was to remember the faith and obedience through which the prophecies were fulfilled. The the third candle was lit to remember the invitation that was extended--and accepted--the first Christmas. The fourth candle was to be mindful of seekers drawn to the meaning of Christmas.

The fifth, and last, candle is in the middle. The Christ Candle. It's lit on Christmas day to remind us that God's promised and prophesied Messiah has come.

Today's song is sung by Cliff and Danielle Young from Caedmon's Call. "Silver Starlight" comes from a compilation album called Come Let Us Adore Him (iTunes).

The wait is over!
All the saints and angels with one voice
Sing to Jesus
Let every heart in heaven and earth rejoice

Silver starlight on his face
Wonderful mysterious child
Born into this time and place
God and sinners reconciled

Christ the Savior
Called Emmanuel as prophesied
God is with us
Let every trusting soul be satisfied

Silver starlight on his face
Wonderful mysterious child
Night of glory, dawn of grace
God and sinners reconciled

O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him

The wait is over!
All the saints and angels with one voice
Sing to Jesus
Let every heart in heaven and earth rejoice

Silver starlight on his face
God and sinners reconciled
