“Is there beyond the silent night
An endless day?
Is death a door that leads to light?
We cannot say.
The tongueless secret locked in fate we do not know,
We hope and wait.”
“I’ve tried in vain a thousand ways
My fears to quell, my hopes to raise;
But all I need, the Bible says,
Is Jesus.
“My soul is night, my heart is steel,
I cannot see, I cannot feel
For light, for heat, I must appeal
To Jesus.
“He died, He lives, He reigns, He pleads;
There’s love in all His acts and deeds;
All, all a guilty sinner needs
Is Jesus,
“Though some will mock and some will blame,
In spite of fear, in spite of shame,
I’ll go to Him, because His name
Is Jesus.”
