Songs in the night

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



Who
Brings songs
In the night?

That bring glory
 Power and Might...

They have wings;
They fly,
Gone.

Back!
To sing
Another!
Glory goes on....

Full grains on the head plucked and devoured

Dropped in a wasteland no water no flower.

Send out your song
Ancient days
Let it
Be
Heard...

To You
Be the praise.
 
From all of us
Who hear songs
Of your
Call

It is good to live or die by your word.

Sword be their fall
Let us rise
Mortal
As
One.

Glory
We praise you
Found in your Son.

Bore our shame
Hear a voice
Sing it
Loud!
