In the Blackness
In the blackness is the sign of your eternity
Cover us O God with this good night
In the blackness lie the farthest reaches of your love
Cover us O God with this good night
Chorus:
Be our company in the fertile soil of midnight
Be our company in the rhythm of our rest
Be our company in the dark behind the starlight
Cover us O God with this good night
Cover us O God with this good night
In the blackness is the blanket of your gentleness
Cover us O God with this good night
In the blackness are your warming arms around the earth
Cover us O God with this good night
In the blackness is the silence of creation born
Cover us O God with this good night
In the blackness we can hear you humming freedom songs
Cover us O God with this good night
