O Darkest Night

O darkest night, my fears reveal
This veil of sin, this broken seal
And though the shadows, they swiftly fall
I still cry out, Lord heed this call
O wretched man, how ill and frail
Who might redeem this carnal tale?
Is there a Savior so divine?
In Jesus Christ, such things are mine
What then becomes now of this sin?
Is not our sentence suffering?
You judge the world, yet still you love
You set us free, no debt thereof
Lord in your hand our fate is held
Our suffering, now finally quelled
And so we linger in your light
And gaze beyond the darkest night
And so we linger in your light
And gaze beyond the darkest night
So we raise our voice with angels
We follow after you
And though the shadows swiftly fall
We still cry out
Lord hear our call
So we raise our voice with angels
We follow after you
And though the shadows swiftly fall
We still cry out
Lord hear our call
Lord hear our call
