Silver Sliver in the Western sky

The very horns of on-rushing night

Beam-on you do, and Venus nearby

Illuminate us with borrowed light

Beneath your sight does Time give chase

As with you our calendar we keep

And stillness surrounds your changing face

Prodding pondering on mysteries deep

Now we all hush to hear your Song

Bless us here, your witness bear

You who gaze out o'er the throng

Tell us what you do see there

Does Justice win, will Evil fail?

What Hope is there that's left for Man?

All we out here beyond the Pale,

Can we Hope to make a stand?

And yet we wait with baited breath

For Deliverance to come.

For One to put an end to death

And lead us boldly toward the Son.

And so we turn again to you,

Silver Sliver in the night,

For in you it shines so true

Your luster shows the path to Light.
