Light of the World

"There's a song in the air! There's a star in the sky!
There's a mother's deep prayer and a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!

In the light of that star lie the ages impearled
And that song from afar has swept over the world
Every hearth is a-flame and the beautiful sing,
In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King!"

(There's a song in the air, by Josiah G. Holland)

I love this song, and its cheerful melody reminds me to smile and hope. We always have hope because we are like candles in a dark night of the world, even when darkness threatens and confusion swells. Jesus reigns as King, and this is the time to celebrate...let all the homes of the nations come to know His light...
