There are songs in the night
Which the light of day cannot reach
It takes sorrow of soul to touch that deep
There is peace of spirit
That joy cannot bring
It takes loss to still the heart’s constant stirring
There is humbleness of heart
Only gained through pain
And in earth’s broken things, is Christ’s greatest gain
For to be whole in spirit, flesh must be rent
To be holy within, the will must be bent
Neither comes except by a fall…
