3. How dark the night of fallen souls, By sin and guilt oppressed; How hopeless our unspoken woe- Of God and good bereft; Till Jesus breaks our moral night And melts the heart of stone; "All praise to God in heaven's height, And peace to men below." 4. How dark the night of cloud and cares, a sky without a star, when doubts arise to mock my prayers, and God seems far.

Come, then, and make your presence known in joy and faith restored. My hope is set on God alone: be near me, Lord. The Lord is my encircling shield, a glory round me shed; in love and power alike revealed, he lifts my head.

How dark the night in Bethlehem Where trav'lers sought for rest; How crude the cave they sheltered in While sheep and oxen slept. Yet Light burst forth int the world, Dispelling sin and strife. The Child born to a virgin girl Was Christ, the Light of Life.

How dark the night o'er pastures bleak} Where shepherds kept their watch; How cold the wind which stole their sleep And stung their weary. Oh, how dark the night that wrapt my spirit round! Oh, how deep the woe my Savior found When He walked across the waters of my soul, Bade my night disperse and made me whole! This arrangement of a relatively recent Christmas hymn frames the nativity story in a haunting narrative about the darkness of waiting and the coming of Christ's light.
