Words and Music: Anthony L. Awtrey, 2008
As evening falls upon God's world,
The light retreats, the stars unfurled,
The sun is lost behind the hill,
And silent night descends to chill.
In loss and pain we wait and pray;
For Christ to come again some day,
For comfort in our pain and loss,
As we endure our heavy cross
Our saints go on to be with Christ,
He paid the way, His sacrifice,
Our loss is their immeasurable gain,
For them there is no night again.
The covenant of Christ is strong!
The angel's sing their glorious song,
To comfort those who sleep in faith,
Until the coming of God's grace.
