Contemplative Haven: Prince of Peace, We Need You 
Prince of Peace, We Need You
In the desert, where the stars are bright / And constellations rule your life / Long ago, three kings set out / To follow a peculiar light / What did they see up in the sky? / That made them take leave of their land / And carry gifts on camelback / Over hills of endless sand / Through cloudless days and cloudless nights / The bells upon the camel ring / And the wind play'n on ribs of sand / Must be the voices of angels singing /
Gold to crown his loftiness / Myrrh for the man upon his death / Frankincense for godliness
Gold to crown his loftiness / Myrrh for the man upon his death / Frankincense for godliness
"Wisemen" (by Kate & Anna McGarrigle)
Black smoke hides the stars tonight / And mines explode in golden sand /
Underground black gold does flow / In Afghan fields the poppies grow /
Black smoke hides the stars tonight / And mines explode in golden sand /
Underground black gold does flow / In Afghan fields the poppies grow /
Gold to crown his loftiness / Myrrh for the man upon his death / Frankincense for godliness.
From Psalm 71 (72):
In his days justice shall flourish
and peace till the moon fails.
He shall rule from sea to sea,
from the Great River to earth's bounds.
