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.
