NIGHT PSALM

There is an earth that opens wide

its night of black abyss

and soul and body will it hide

until there’s none to miss

There is a night that meets with you

receives you nice and soft

and lets you rest with honour due

hand, foot and soul aloft

For God he is in all on earth

in teeming night above

your soul is His, you are His worth

you shine His heaven’s love
