The Longest Night
Tim Grimm
Will the sun return?
Will the day be bright?
Will we ever see the sky spread out in early morning light?
Winter is closing in
Snow is falling down
Trees reach black into the sky; our footsteps are the only sound
But it’s not a silent night
Somewhere a church bell rings
Somewhere a fire is burning bright
Somewhere a choir sings
When weep surround our faces
We pull our heads down low
Silence fills the spaces as we walk through the snow
Home’s way is hard, it is
And our doors are open and wide
Come in, you weary travelers, and take your rest inside
But it’s not a silent night
Somewhere a church bell rings
Somewhere a fire is burning bright
Somewhere a choir sings
No, we’re not alone
This night is not the end
Brothers and sisters are all around, the new day is ready to begin
But it’s not a silent night
Somewhere a church bell rings
Somewhere a fire is burning bright
Somewhere a choir sings
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
