Epiphany 2008 --- All of the World


About 15 years ago, Philip and I composed an anthem for Epiphany entitled All of the World. Here are the words:


Wise men not knowing the God of the Ages still followed the star through dark desert and night.
Men who knew nothing of law and the prophets still felt in their hearts the allure of that light.


All of the world, God wants to follow,
All of the world, God calls by that star.

Wise men and children the sad and the able, All of the world God loves by the Son.


This love is still present in all of the nations, Sometimes it glows bright as the star long ago.
Sometimes it's concealed by the cloud of the faithless, Yet light is ablaze in the heart that will know.


All of the world, God wants to follow,
All of the world, God calls by that star.
Wise men and children the sad and the able, All of the world God loves by the Son.


Epiphany blessings to all.

Thanks so much for this. Epiphany is one of the most overlooked seasons of the year. This blessed me.
