                                    PEACE IN THE NIGHT
                                __________________________


                              There is peace in the night
                              when you embrace the eternal light,                       
                              and come to see what is true,
                              and let it shine in all you do.
                              There is peace in the night
                              when you feel no more dred,
                              and no more fright.
                              The Father and the Son
                              are the only illuminaries
                              I have known,
                              and I have never felt out on my own.
                              Peace in the night is what I have found
                              when the grace of the Father abounds.
                              I have taken solace in that one thing,
                              as I have been sheltered under his wings.               
                              Peace in the night is what I have come to know,                #32
                              and greater love is what I have
                              come to show.
                              I have felt it deep down in my soul,
                              when salvation has been my goal.


                              There has been peace in the night
                              when I have prayed on my knees,
                              and sought the Father to please.
                              I have sought him out in prayer,
                              for he will forgive me when I err.
                              Peace in the night has given me
                              the comfort I desire,
                              and given me the spirit
                              which is an unquenchable fire.
                              The spirit leads me in the way
                              that I should go,
                              and causes me to love
                              my brothers and sisters so.
                              There is peace in the night                 
                              as I approach that eternal light,
                              and it flows to me,
                              and brings me closer to that crystal dawn,
                              when all sin and suffering
                              and wickedness will be gone,
                              for I can see it in my sight,
                              and I have peace in the night.
