A billion bright and holy beams
From a light that's traveled far
Began the trip from His fingertips
O the wonder of the stars
Proclaim the signs and seasons
So silently they sing
Of the wonder of their Kindler
Of the power of their King
O the firey suns above us
In the vast veil of the sky
Are Your servant flames of fire
Are Your silent holy guides
And like the star-led magi
They guide our souls to You
And shine a light of awesome love
Into eyes that see anew
We danced the Virginia Reel to this song during our New Year's Eve gathering. What fun memories of children and parents dancing, swinging, and laughing together.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Soundtrack, by Klaus Badelt
Our hospitable friends capped off the New Year's Eve celebration by inflating the air mattresses, popping the pop corn, and brewing the tea for a late-night viewing of Pirates of the Caribbean. Not the usual fare for our family; we love to pick apart and analyze movies, and came up empty-handed after viewing Pirates the first time. Maybe it was the most excellent company, maybe it was the late-hour punchiness, but we enjoyed it much more the second time around. Just the word "superfluous" coming out of Jack Sparrow's mouth had me laughing and relaxing for a bit of fun.
This soundtrack is a regular attender here, as one son received the CD for Christmas, and is also working on the keyboard to recreate the songs. Still at the "use the earphones, please" stage, but getting there.
