shadows flee

come, come closer
see the sunlight
tiptoeing through the branches
diffused rays
warm the eyes
with soft serenity
echoing the peace
only the Son brings

stay, stay still
drink in the beauty
of a world at rest
day's work is done
your Home is nigh
loving arms await
dreams hover at the edges
glory beyond the vale

hope, hope joyfully
in His right hand
is abundant provision
safety from the thief
neverending bliss
even in the fight
His light breaks through
and shadows flee
