This Is the Night

This Is the night of His coming to earth:

Christ in the darkness is waiting His birth.

All is now ready, and each in their place,

planets and people, this moment of grace.

This is the hour when a Mother must wait,

wait until labour comes, early or late:

this is the moment the Babe in her womb

knocks on the door of a carpenter’s home.

This is the hour when we sinners despair;

this is the hour when the angels declare

peace upon earth to all those of goodwill:

shepherds see glory on Bethlehem’s hill.

This is the night: let a trumpet be blown!

Never again shall love wear such a crown!

This is the hour when our souls find release:

welcome to Him who has come to make peace!
