Bright light cities and television
Dominate our eyes
Cosy in our homesteads
We hardly see the skies
But wise men from the ancient East
Following a star
Came to seek a new-born child
Came from lands afar
So many things we do not know
And many things we do
Everest and Antarctica
And journeys to the moon
The origins of the universe
What happens when we die
All of these are mysteries
Hidden from the eye
But the heart has ways of knowing
Of finding what’s within
The joy of love and kindness
The cruelty of sin
The virtues of our nature
Reveal our origin
The hand of God is everywhere
And today in Bethlehem
