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
