Verse 1 The world is holding its breath tonight Under a sky of velvet blue Every sorrow, every fear Laid down beneath the moon Snow falls soft on sleeping hills Time stands still, the heavens wait All creation leans to hear What love will say Verse 2 A hush like prayer is in the air The cold is gentle, kind Mountains bow in silver robes Guardians of the night Then a flame is born in darkness Not of fire, not of flame But mercy dressed in radiance Calling every name Chorus Oh, light in the longest night Hope in the deep unknown A star breaks open the sky And we are not alone Peace like a river of gold Flows where the shadows were Heaven is whispering softly now Love has come to earth Verse 3 Deep indigo and violet Fade into something new Ancient skies remember joy They’ve waited long for You Every heart that dares to look Will feel the silence sing In the stillness, God draws near On fragile wings Chorus Oh, light in the longest night Grace in a shattered world A cross of glory fills the sky And hope begins to burn Fear loosens its fragile hold Darkness finally learns Even the night must bend its knee When eternal light returns Bridge No thunder, no crown of gold No armies, no display Just heaven breathing holiness Into the dust of clay In a beam of endless mercy All our wandering finds a home Break (soft, reverent) Still… Still the snow is falling Still… Every soul is known Final Chorus Oh, light in the longest night Song of the promised dawn The stars bow low, the earth grows warm As love is carried on Here in the quiet we see What angels have always known The darkest hour has been undone The light has come The light has come Outro So rest your heart, the night is kind The sky is wide with grace In sacred hush, the world is held In heaven’s warm embrace
