Father of light
Friend in the night
Before beginnings are You
Calm to the storm
Balm to the torn
When all else fails
You are true
And the earth breaks forth into singing
Only at the mention of Your name
And my spirit breaks into loving
At the nearness and the tenderness of You
Tenderness of You
The poured out wine
Life of the vine
The living Word is known
King of the Jew
The Gentile too
Seated upon the throne
And the earth breaks forth into singing
Only at the mention of Your name
And my spirit breaks into loving
At the nearness and the tenderness of You
Tenderness of You
Breath of the wind
Death in the end
Is swallowed up
By Your love
Sweet melody of victory
Comes on the wings
Of the dove
And the earth breaks forth into singing
Only at the mention of Your name
And my spirit breaks into loving
At the nearness and the tenderness of You
Tenderness of You
And the earth breaks forth into singing
Only at the mention of Your name
And my spirit breaks into loving
At the nearness and the tenderness of You
Tenderness of You
