SILENCE OF THE NIGHT Silence the sound of light Before the flame of dawn Quiet the wind and water LET IT BE SILENT Our hymn we sing of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit With strength of breath all proclaim Amen and Amen Let kingdoms bow praising Hallelujah Glory to God Alone, the Trinity, Sole giver of all good things Amen and Amen Remember in the dark God who makes all things shine Opens flower petals And our cherished eyes KIM RODRIGUES © 2017 In accord with the Oxyrhynchus Hymn (See my note)
