March Forth! Marssige Edasi!

There's a light in the sky,
Though the sky be dark;
It's the light of the Star in the East.
There's a song in the storm,
Though the storm be long;
It's the song that my heart loves the best.
It's the song that broke over Bethlehem's hill,
The angels song: Peace on earth, goodwill!
And the song made the whole wide world to thrill,
Lovely song of the Star in the East.

Fierce and hot beats the sun
As her course is run,
And the earth becomes barren and dry;
But the black-pinioned clouds,
Flying low on the hills,
Send the life-giving rains from the sky.
And it's just the same when dark clouds are there,
Bright blessings come to someone, somewhere,
For the sun could not do good anywhere,
Were it not for dark clouds in the sky.

There's a thorn on the rose
That in fragrance grows
In the woodlands of friendship and peace.
Oft' the flesh must be torn,
'Ere the rose be born.
That will give to its sweetness release.
To bring joy to others my heart must mourn,
The worth of peace is best proved in storm.
'Twas the song in the night brought the Christmas morn,
'Twas the song of the Star in the East.

Oh, come to Jesus
Bring Him your care
Your sin He'll pardon
Your griefs He'll share
He's so tender, so strong, so true, so kind
Oh, I love Him by far more than all.
