a deafening silence reigned on earth
no hope was found, no hymn was heard
the broken-hearted could not sing
who will break down this soundless lingering?
this shady place, in need of light
our desperate hearts lost in the night
now hold your breath and cease your ways
the prince of peace will come and save the day
The Son of God came down from heaven above
He gave his all to become one of us
So look around and see his eyes
and meet the stranger who has saved your life
a wasted land, without a king
the ground was dry, the sky was dim
hollow eyes they watch the clouds
behold: a wondrous tree of life will sprout
The Son of God came down from heaven above
He gave his all to become one of us
So look around and see his eyes
and meet the stranger who has saved your life
The Son of God, the Son of Man
Prince of Peace, the Great I Am
Eternal Light, victorious stream
Oh Holy Child, (Thy name’s sweet gleam)
The Son of God came down from heaven above
He gave his all to become one of us
The Son of God, The Son of God, The Son of God
