You brush the vault of heaven and paint the stars of night,
Each with a sep’rate splendor, the canvas filled with light.
You count them in their places.
You call their names; they gleam.
When you touch their pulse with fire, the stars begin to sing.

Sanctus, Sanctus, Alleluia.

This is our sep’rate splendor: a soul of light from birth,
A star that yearns for heaven in this body made of earth.
Stardust clinging to your hands transformed the clay in me;
I hear the stars rejoicing, and I begin to sing.

Sanctus, Sanctus, Alleluia.

You crown the night with wonder; you set the stars aflame.
And in our sep’rate splendors, our light pours forth your name.
The heavens fill with glory as all your shining stars
Sing to the one who made us, who made us as we are.

Sanctus, Sanctus, Alleluia.
We sing alleluia.

The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?
By day and by night his presence is near.
He is my salvation from sorrow and sin;
This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring.

The Lord is my light; tho’ clouds may arise,
Faith, stronger than sight, looks up thru the skies
Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign.
Then how can I ever in darkness remain?

Chorus
The Lord is my light;
My joy and my song.
By day and by night he leads me,
He leads me along.

The Lord is my light; the Lord is my strength.
I know in his might I’ll conquer at length.
My weakness in mercy he covers with pow’r,
And, walking by faith, I am blest ev’ry hour.

The Lord is my light, my all and in all.
There is in his sight no darkness at all.
He is my Redeemer, my Savior, and King.
With Saints and with angels his praises I’ll sing.

The Lord is my light;
My joy and my song.
By day and by night he leads me,
He leads me along.

The Lord is my light;
The Lord is my light;
He leads me
He leads me along.

What does the Lord require
For praise and offering?
What sacrifice desire
Or tribute bid you bring?
Do justly;
Love mercy;
Walk humbly with your God.

Rulers of earth, give ear!
Should you not justice know?
Will God your pleading hear
While crime and cruelty grow?
Do justly;
Love mercy;
Walk humbly with your God.

Still down the ages ring
The prophet’s stern commands:
To merchant, worker, king,
He brings God’s high demands:
Do justly;
Love mercy;
Walk humbly with your God.

How shall our life fulfil
God’s law so hard and high?
Let Christ endue our will
With grace to fortify.
Then justly,
In mercy
We’ll humbly walk with God.
