Classic Poem

God lit a star in heaven
To make the darkness bright,
God lit a star in heaven:
He shone, and there was light.
He shone, but he was lonely
And grieved and sorrowed sore:
And the Lord of Heaven had pity,
And lit him a million more.

Each star had a million brothers
To keep him company;
Each star had a million brothers,
And each as bright as he.
And shining, each to other,
About God's throne they move,
And sing His praise together,
Together sing His praises —
Who gave them friends to love.
