How Sweet the Darkness
Author: Rachel Bates Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Justice and Social Action First Line: When windows that are black and cold Lyrics: 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. Used With Tune: MAURO

beset by change but Spirit led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all without reserve
and spread Christ's liberating word. Used With Tune: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
