Night of silence

Cold are the people winter of life
we tremble in shadows this cold endless night
frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping
flowers that will echo the sunrise
fire of hope is our only warmth
weary it's flame will be dying soon

Voice in the distance call in the night
on wind you enfold us you speak of the night
gentle on the ear you whisper softly
rumours of a dawn so embracing
breathless love awaits darkened souls
soon will we know of the morning

Spirit among us shine like a star
your light that guides shepherds and kings from afar
shimmer in the sky so empty lonely
rising in the warmth of your son's love
star unknowing of night and day
spirit we wait or your loving son.
