The Morning Star Singers - Songs of Comfort and Healing Lyrics


Bright Morning Stars
Traditional with new verses by Julie Marion Brown
Bright morning stars are rising (3x)
Day is a-breakin' in my soul

Life's journey full and sacred (3x)
Day is a-breakin' in my soul

Life and love have been my blessings (3x)
Day is a-breakin' in my soul

My heart is winging homeward (3x)
Love is a-calling me back home.

Surrounding You
By Barbara McAfee
I wish you courage for the next step and the next.
I wish you peace in the middle of the storm.
I wish you unexpected joy,
Strength to see you through,
And a heart wide open to all the love surrounding you.

Sanctuary
By John Thompson and Randy Scruggs
Love prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving I'll be a living
Sanctuary for you

Light and Darkness

Angels Hovering 'Round
By P. P. Bliss
There are angels hovering 'round 
To carry the tidings home
To the new Jerusalem
Let all who hear them come
There are angels hovering 'round

Good Night to You All
Author unknown
Good night to you all
And sweet be your sleep
May angels around you their silent watch keep
Good night, good night, good night, good night

Onawa's Waltz
By John Krumm
I've been waiting all the day long
To see the stars in your eyes
My love, come, dance with me now
See how the evening flies
And while you sleep, my dear
Know that I am near to hold you when you arise

Keep Watch
By Becky Reardon
We cannot follow you where you are going
What you are feeling, we cannot know
But we will keep watch, watch through the night
Watch till your journey brings you home

The Lone Wild Bird
The lone wild bird in lofty flight
Is still with thee nor leaves thy sight
And I am thine; I rest in thee
Great Spirit, come and rest in me.

The ends of Earth are in thy hands
The sea's dark, deep and far-off lands
And I am thine; I rest in thee
Great Spirit, come and rest in me.


Let Us See What Love Can Do
Music by Francis Gurtz, lyrics by William Penn


Breathing In, Breathing Out
Music by Betsy Rose based on a quote by Thich Nhat Hahn
Breathing in, breathing out
Breathing in, breathing out
I am blooming as a flower
I am fresh as the dew
I am solid as a mountain
I am firm as the earth
I am free, I am free, I am free

​Thula (hush)
Traditional Zulu Lullaby

All Through the Night
Melody: Traditional Welsh  ​English Lyrics: Sir Harold Boulton
Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night


Ya Jamil
God is beautiful and loves beauty.
by W.A. Mathieu


I'll Fly Away
By Albert E Brumley and Sons
Some glad morning when my life is over
I'll fly away
To a land on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

Chorus
​I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away.

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys shall never end
I'll fly away....Chorus


Living in the Light
By Jean Leicester & Barbara McAfee
I’m just so ready to let go, yet I’m so in love with life,
You’re not surprised to know
So many things about it -- things to see, taste, hear and feel Even so, I’m willing to step off this wheel
 
And sing my self into the wind; dance my soul up to the stars
Plant my roots beside the redwoods that are so dear to my heart
Ride the river to the ocean; disappear into the light
You know, I’m gonna be all right.....

 
I’m gonna miss you so much, but you know me, I’m gonna find a way to stay in touch
When you’re captured by the beauty, when you’re lost inside the fear, count on me, I’ll be right here
 
I’ll be singing in the wind; I’ll be dancing in the stars
I’ll be growing in the redwoods; I’m still alive in your heart
When my river joins the ocean; when I turn into the light
I know you’re gonna be all right.....all right
 
You’ll be singing in the wind; you’ll be dancing in the stars
You’ll be growing in the redwoods; I’m still alive in your heart

When your river joins the ocean; when you turn into the light
You know, we’re gonna be all right
We’re gonna be all right......
It’s gonna be all right  -- Living in the light
