The Coming of Night Lyrics

The lingering heat that hangs thickly in the air

Now flees before the soothing wind of the evening

What once was bright now rolls away, it rolls away

An opening curtain to reveal what heaven hides

Velvet darkness

The deep blue of ending dusk

A captivating dance of flickering stars and shifting clouds

The glow of the moon is the lamp, lighting the feet of those

In the pleasant peace of midnight's reign

There is a beautiful balance between night and day

Together they calm and revive

When the day grows long, and I tire of the light

The sun falls below, hailing the coming of night

A rich love exists for each, and it keeps the spirit alive

When man's toil and doubt bring weariness

There can be much joy and solace

The night and her brother have God in their eyes

And His wisdom on their breath

When the day grows long, and I tire of the light

The sun falls below, hailing the coming of night

When the day grows long, and I tire of the light

The sun falls below, hailing the coming of night
