Light Upon the Way

 

Ánh Sao Dẫn Lối (Lục Bát – Final Version)

Theo một vì sao trời sáng,
Ba học sỹ bước qua đồng dài.
Sao huyền bí dẫn đường đi,
Lạc đà thong thả, mỏi gối lê chân.

Qua sa mạc nắng chang chang,
Xuống thung lũng, núi quanh co.
Đêm u tối phủ sương mù,
Hành trình dài vẫn tràn niềm tin.

Khi đến nơi, ngỡ ngàng thay,
Cung điện đâu, chỉ lều tranh nho nhỏ?
Trong túp lều giữa chiên bò,
Vua cao sang lại giản dị thân thương.

Ước mong sao ánh sáng tỏa,
Đến mọi người trong tim dẫn đường.
Đức tin soi, lòng rộng mở,
Hướng con người về Chúa muôn đời.

Chúa phán dạy: xin sẽ được,
Tìm sẽ thấy, gõ sẽ mở ra.
Dù ngày tối hay đêm thâu,
Ánh sao vẫn sáng nhờ hồng ân Chúa.

Hỡi chúng con, hãy là sao,
Dẫn tha nhân về Chúa muôn đời.
Ánh sao sáng xua màn tối,
Diệt hận thù, vô tâm và tội lỗi.

Trio of Light: Hymns of the Guiding Star

1. Light Upon the Way

Beneath a star that lights the night,
Three sages walk with steady stride.
Across the plains so vast, so bright,
Their camels slow, yet hope their guide.

Through desert heat and shadowed mist,
Through hills and valleys, long and wide,
At last they find a humble twist:
A stable small, where Christ resides.

No palace grand, no gilded hall,
Yet here the King of kings appears.
O may His light reach one and all,
To guide the lost and calm our fears.

Let us become the shining flame,
That leads all hearts to praise His name.

2. Star of the Heart

A single star shines in the dark,
Its gentle glow warms every heart.
It whispers hope, ignites a spark,
And guides the lost who drift apart.

Through stormy night and shadowed ways,
Its steady light will not grow dim.
It turns our nights to brighter days,
And calls us home with holy hymn.

O may we be that steadfast light,
To show the way where love abides.
Through darkest fears, through deepest night,
A shining path where hope resides.

Let faith within our hearts ignite,
A beacon bright for all in sight.

3. Journey of the Wise

Three travellers cross the endless sand,
Their eyes fixed high upon the star.
Through weary miles and desert land,
They follow light that shines afar.

No road is short, no path is clear,
Yet faith sustains their every step.
Through trials deep, through doubt and fear,
The smallest stable keeps them kept.

There, humble Christ waits patiently,
A king in manger, meek and mild.
O may our lives, like theirs, now be
A journey led by the Holy Child.

With every step, His love we see,
And walk in light both meek and wild.

Follow the Star (Polished Hymn Version)

Journey
Beneath a shining star so bright,
Three wise men walk through endless night.
Their camels slow, yet steady stride,
Across the plains, the deserts wide.

Through valleys low and hills so high,
They journey on ‘neath starlit sky.
Though legs grow weary, hearts remain,
Through shadowed mist and drifting rain.

The Stable
At journey’s end, they pause, amazed:
No gilded hall, no grand displays.
Only a stable, small and plain,
Where ox and sheep within remain.

The King awaits, so meek, so mild,
A humble child, God’s holy Child.
O may His light reach every heart,
And guide the lost, and never part.

Guiding Light
Let us become that shining flame,
To lead all souls to praise His name.
Through darkest night and deepest fear,
His love will shine, His path is clear.
