Father of light

Friend in the night

Before beginnings are You

Calm to the storm

Balm to the torn

When all else fails

You are true

And the earth breaks forth into singing

Only at the mention of Your name

And my spirit breaks into loving

At the nearness and the tenderness of You

Tenderness of You

The poured out wine

Life of the vine

The living Word is known

King of the Jew

The Gentile too

Seated upon the throne

And the earth breaks forth into singing

Only at the mention of Your name

And my spirit breaks into loving

At the nearness and the tenderness of You

Tenderness of You

Breath of the wind

Death in the end

Is swallowed up

By Your love

Sweet melody of victory

Comes on the wings

Of the dove

And the earth breaks forth into singing

Only at the mention of Your name

And my spirit breaks into loving

At the nearness and the tenderness of You

Tenderness of You

And the earth breaks forth into singing

Only at the mention of Your name

And my spirit breaks into loving

At the nearness and the tenderness of You

Tenderness of You
