Holy darkness, blessed night Heaven's answer hidden from my 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 will I plant my seed Holy darkness, blessed night Heaven's answer hidden from my sight As we await you, O God of silence We embrace your holy night I've taught you the prize of compassion You have stood before the grave Though my love can seem Like a raging storm This is the love that saves Holy darkness, blessed night Heaven's answer hidden from my 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 Holy darkness, blessed night Heaven's answer hidden from my sight As we await you, O God of silence We embrace your holy night
