Refrain:
Holy darkness, blessed night,
Heaven's answer
hidden from our sight.
As we await you,
O God of silence,
We embrace your holy night.
I have tried you
in fires of affliction;
I have taught
your soul to grieve.
In the barren soil
of your loneliness
There I will plant my seed.
Refrain:
Holy darkness, blessed night,
Heaven's answer
hidden from our sight.
As we await you,
O God of silence,
We embrace your holy night.
I have taught you
the price of compassion;
You have stood
before the grave.
Though my love can seem
like a raging storm,
This is the love that saves.
Refrain:
Holy darkness, blessed night,
Heaven's answer
hidden from our sight.
As we await you,
O God of silence,
We embrace your holy night.
Were you there
when I raised up the mountains?
Can you guide the morning star?
Does the hawk take flight
when you give command?
Why do you doubt my pow'r ?
Refrain:
Holy darkness, blessed night,
Heaven's answer
hidden from our sight.
As we await you,
O God of silence,
We embrace your holy night.
In your deepest hour of darkness
I will give you wealth untold.
When the silence stills your spirit,
Will my riches fill your soul.
Refrain:
Holy darkness, blessed night,
Heaven's answer
hidden from our sight.
As we await you,
O God of silence,
We embrace your holy night.
As the watchman
waits for morning,
And the bride
awaits her groom,
So we wait to hear your footsteps
As we rest beneath your moon.
Refrain:
Holy darkness, blessed night,
Heaven's answer
hidden from our sight.
As we await you,
O God of silence,
We embrace your holy night.
