Fast Wears the Night
As darkness fills the western sky
And sleep, the twin of death, is nigh
What soothes the soul, at set of sun?
A pleasant thought, of duty done
When i will weave these words
In Holier light i yearn
But Only dark is here
Fast wears the night
Must the past-ral, night slumbers be
The shepherds by the eastern tree
Broken & brief, with dreams that tell
Of ravaged flock, and poisoned well
When i will weave these words
In Holier light i yearn
But Only dark is here
Fast wears the night
Be still my soul, fast wears the night
Soon shall day dawn, in holier light
Old faces, ancient hearts, be there
And well known voices thrill the air
And sleep, the twin of death, is nigh
What soothes the soul, at set of sun?
A pleasant thought, of duty done
When i will weave these words
In Holier light i yearn
But Only dark is here
Fast wears the night
Must the past-ral, night slumbers be
The shepherds by the eastern tree
Broken & brief, with dreams that tell
Of ravaged flock, and poisoned well
When i will weave these words
In Holier light i yearn
But Only dark is here
Fast wears the night
Be still my soul, fast wears the night
Soon shall day dawn, in holier light
Old faces, ancient hearts, be there
And well known voices thrill the air
