From this old sordid world we cast a glance
Above to sky, brings heaven to our mind–
See clouds before the sunset in their dance
To celebrate the day now left behind.
The sun has disappeared and comes the night
To bring His peace that blows from Calvary’s hill
Where buries He our sins from Father’s sight
And speaks to us His words of “Peace, be still !”
Beyond our understanding is His peace,
Descends within our souls our hearts to cleanse,
And we from sin and guilt find His release
As He our broken hearts in His now mends.
His heaven comes to earth us to prepare
For dawn’s new life in Him beyond compare.
