Guiding Star by Chris Inglis — Lyrics
Light piercing the ebon depths of the cold, dark midnight sky.
Comforter, Confidence, Cynosure, guiding star of the Maggi
When you are lost in the wilderness, may angels be where you are.
When you’re lost in your darkest hours, may you find your guiding star.

About Guiding Star
Suitable for a Christmas or general sacred occasion, Guiding Star is an anthem for treble and bass voices. The text opens with imagery of light piercing the darkness, likening a guiding star to a comforter and cynosure in times of distress. It explores themes of faith and the hope found in divine guidance, particularly when one feels lost or in their darkest hours. The lyrics express a yearning for wisdom to recognise the miracles that happen daily, seeking assurance that angels will be present in times of need and that a guiding star will be found. This sacred piece offers a message of hope and spiritual direction.
