Text: | How Sweet the Darkness |
Author: | Rachel Bates |
Tune: | MAURO |
Composer: | Jason Shelton, 1972- |
1 When windows that are black and cold
are lit anew with fires of gold;
When dusk in quiet shall descend
and darkness come once more a friend.
2 When wings pursue their proper flight
and bring not terror but delight;
When clouds are innocent again
and hide no storms of deadly rain;
3 And when the sky is swept of wars
and keeps but gentle moon and stars,
That peaceful sky, harmless air,
how sweet, how sweet, the darkness there.
