Notes:

A beautiful little song with a great big sentiment!

"The Star," a part of Star Prayers for SSA and Piano, was a winner in the 2004 Ruth Watson Henderson Choral Composition Competition.

Text:

I think God sang when He had made
A bough of apple bloom,
And placed it close against the sky
To whiten in the gloom.

But, oh, when He had hung a star
Above a blue, blue hill,
I think God in His ecstasy
Was startled . . . and was still.

- Beatrice Redpath
