Tune: St Denio
('Immortal, invisible, God only wise')
Adapted from 'Starquest' poem by Accidental Poet,
with permission.
************
In the vast expanse of the skies darkened night
Beyond my reach there a twinkling of starlight
And for the sky now do I reach out my hand
To touch this beacon of light from where I stand
Within answers to questions I dare not ask
'Tis in a sea of love that I long to bask
And from my heart, I have so much for to give
Receiving is only half enough to live
A heart confined unto itself needs to share
To find another heart, someone for to care
Shine on now you bright, radiant shining star
Luminous starlight of love, I know you are
You seem to shine brighter throughout every night
In you my heart sees such a beautiful sight
Someday in person I'll hold you in my arms
For now I'm content being lost in your charms
It is in your starlight that I do invest
In my heart there is this vision of Starquest
Guide me in the way still, as wised men were led
Of old, to find Christ lain in low manger-bed
