'The Brightest Star By Far' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

The star shown bright that glorious night
Lighting the way to sweet Jesus’ birth
Many came from miles away
Bringing Gifts of incense and mirth

The animals stood joyously about
In complete awe and calm
For ever they knew how wonderful
This special child was

Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Laying in a manger was he
Such a precious babe

He came to save all who would
Accept him as their Savior
He knew his destiny
He was to die upon
A cross called Calvary

We love your ultimate sacrifice
Our Lord our King
Happy Birthday dear Lord
As we celebrate it I pray joy
Is what those who love you
Unto you will bring!
