Sunset, Sunrise

Your sunset’s beauty escorts us to sleep
Into the night where bad dreams are no more,
And light within your sunset wakens deep
Your Image in us ‘twas there long before

Our sin had marred what You in our hearts keep.
Created to Your Trinity adore,
We’ll not forever from our own sin reap
The death which is our sleep that’s open door

To sunrise on the other side of night
Where cross of Him has buried all our sin,
Forever sleeps—will never in His light
Awaken to disturb our dreams again

As sunset, sunrise both within our sight.
We see what was before has always been.
