The Silence is Broken

 

The silence of the Holy Noght is not what shall be heard

If you have ears to hear Jehovah's final word.

The lips that spoke creation so very long ago

Now speak the incarnation and so you shall know.

This word upholds the universe, sustains it by its might.

This word that in the beginning said "let there be light!"

Now comes to us as a light unto the nations.

 

A light to our hearts on a silent night of jubilation

Silence is broken finally and once for all

He is there and he is not silent if you will heed His call

The uttermost utterance speaks peace unto his own.

And speaks the word of judgement where his holiness is known.

Silence is broken by triumphant jubilation

Angels are proclaiming the Messiah's birth

Laid in a manger the feeding place for beasts

Now for those who need food he will be their feast.
