Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: RitualSong (2nd ed.) #983 (2016) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 As stars adorn the night-veiled sky,
Arrayed like jewels rare and bright,
So shine God's saints in ev'ry age
To give the world new hope, new light.
2 The light saints bear is not their own
But shines through them as gift and sign:
To show how God can use and bless
Frail human means for ends divine.
3 Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ,
The Morning Star that crowns the night,
Whose rising heralds God's new day,
The promised dawn of life and light.
4 That light is ours to claim and share,
Not merely praise or gaze upon:
For all who are baptized become
Light-bearers through the Risen One.
5 The saints inspire and challenge us
Our holy calling to embrace:
To bear Christ's light in our own day,
To be the vessels of God's grace. Topics: All Saints Languages: English Tune Title: JESU DULCIS MEMORIA
