Dawn Within the Night

Can dawn be born within the night,
     A dawn we long to see?
And yet we journey for the sight
     Of Him who’ll set us free.

With wise we follow Morning Star
     To see where it will lead;
They guide us who have travelled far

For we know what we need is Him
     Who saves from sin and death,
And we are told “In Bethlehem
     You’ll find where your hearts rest.”

Our longing hearts seek His relief;
     He’ll rest our striving souls,
As in Him we place our belief
     That He will make us whole.

With hope in Him we travel on
     And joy in hearts is born,
For sin and death will both be gone
     With birth on Christmas morn.
