Wrapped in Light in the midst of the night; Caught In the tides at His feet laid right Herald of glorious adventure; Caught and bought by His blood-venture   Thought in His heart; Wrought by His hand,   In His season he gazes in the eye of His view, Found he the seed in the heat of the dew.   Jeer at me, but know ye- at dawn, the Father makes known.   Lights Might Heights.   That we may know;   MaltiBwe- an eternal blessing that knows no bounds! There is no limit to the gifting of God in you for the Nations.   I celebrate you,   To you and to all that is to come- Feliz cumpleaรฑos, Aurora Borealis!
