You are in every bush

You are in every bush

You are in every bush,

Alight with fire

And yet we walk, feet shod,

As through the mire.

You are in every heart

A promise, a message in lyre

That though the darkness may seem to rule

The single star burns a-fire,

Magnificent, resplendent, among the heavenly choir.

You are this night, Emmanuel,

Babe yet king, the one true heir

Man and God,

The Father’s holy sacrifice.

You are in every bush

Alight with fire

Open our eyes Lord

So that we too may arise,

Loosen our straps, draw near…
