Esther Thornburg - City Lights

Esther Thornburg - City Lights

Bewond the city lights br The stars shine bright. br Not dimmed by lights below br Unseen be those beneath the glow br Who are busy running to and fro. br br When might they begin to learn? br Out on Observation Hill it shows br Bright stars, through the ages, shinning still, br Not of man's making but God's will br Shinning on until time is fulfilled. br br A message they brought to those of old, br Of the virgin, and the child to hold, br Of the surpent, of the shepherd, for the fold, br Of the cross, and of slavation, foretold. br Beyond the realm of stars is more. br br The glorious throne of God is high above all. br It is unsimmed by city lights. br It is untouched by earth's decay or blight. br It shines on when time is gone. br It shines on eternally long.
