O Night Divine

There is a time in late December

The sun stands still in winter

For three days and three long nights

Throughout time we've watched the sky

And waited for the sun to come and save us

Save us from the longest nightFor years I have been doing things

And singing songs that don't make any sense

But if I scratch the surface just a little bit

The holiday paint is pretty thinLook to the sky with hope and wonder

There's a star in the east to guide us home

We are closer now than we've ever been

To peace on earth and good will to men

As we celebrate the longest night

O night divine

O night divine
