Still the night
Lighting the Christ candle Cloth for the cradle, cradle for the child, The child for our every joy and sorrow: Find him a shawl that's woven by us all To welcome the Lord of each tomorrow. Darkness and light and all that's known by sight, silence and echo fading, weave into one a welcome for the Son set earth its own maker serenading. Hungry and poor, the sick and the unsure, wealthy whose needs are stranger, weave into one a welcome for the Son, leave excess and want beneath the manger. Claimant and queen, wage earners in between, trader and travelling preacher, weave into one a welcome for the Son, whose word brings new life to every creature. Wrinkled or fair, carefree or full of care, searchers of all the ages, weave into one a welcome for the Son, the Saviour of shepherds and of sages. Prayer Carol Book 1 Benediction
