Out of the Stillness lyrics

Out of the stillness of dark before dawn,

In the still and the quiet and the damp of the night,

The morning star glimmers alone in the sky:

Signal of day, herald of light.

Deep in the stillness of anguish and fear

Lie hopes that were shattered by death and by doubt,

The husk of a dream lies empty and crushed,

Mind seeks for meaning, heart flickers out.

Out of the stillness the dawn comes again

Darkness is vanquished and hope is renewed

The sun has arisen, never to set,

A new day is dawning with heaven suffused.

Death with its terrors at last overcome

By one burst of light, by one gift of love.

Wholeness and healing and hope in his arms,

The sun has arisen with life for the world.
