As Stars Adorn the Night-Veiled Sky

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals 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.
