The Sweetness of that Midnight Hour Lyrics

The sweetness of that midnight hour

When all the world is still

When you draw near and gladly I

Surrender to your will

Though no-one knows, though all alone

Yet not alone, for there

You meet me in the midnight hour

With tender loving care

The richness of that desert place

When all around is bare

And yet the fullness of your grace

Is all sufficient there!

The barren land with manna filled

Now Christ who reigns on high

Still meets me in the desert place

And every need supplies

The brightness of that deepest night

When all is stripped away

When darkness is my closest friend

And helplessly I pray

For there though still with pain I cry

Against the velvet sky

The brightest star begins to shine

For Christ is ever mine
