Voices of Middle-Earth  by Armariel

This is a musical setting of the hymn written by Frodo in "Light from the West".  Click here to hear the music. 

~White are the Stars~

(or, "Frodo's Hymn")

White are the stars that course the vast heavens
Purple the firmament that cradles their delight
Silver the fulling moon, gold the lamp of morning
Fair the Evenstar that illumines our twilight.

Fairer still the Children who grace this verdant islet
Gracious the Beings that heal us of our blight...
Glorious the One who spreads it all before us
Blessing our pathway with peace and eternal Light.

Holy the night where the Light of Truth is shining
Happy are those who abide in its embrace
Make of us a family, dispelling all divisions
Uniting us in love and the abundance of thy Grace.

Fair are the Children who grace this verdant islet
Gracious the Beings that heal us of our blight...
Glorious the One who spreads it all before us
Blessing our pathway with peace and eternal Light.

Optional wedding verse:

Go, blessed pair, and seek the realm of music
Dwell in the Light that beams upon your bliss
Climb the bright stairway among the stars of wonder

Long may you know the joy that springs from each kiss.

A/N:  The melody was strongly suggested by the old Christmas hymn "Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning" and is nearly identical in some parts.
