In The Darkness of The Night

In The Darkness of The Night

In the darkness of the night,
I see a thousand points of light,
Each one shining separately,
As they float upon the midnight sea.

Reflected from still water deep,
Each beckons to the restless sheep,
As they descend from mountains h igh,
Seeking the rest that is nigh.

While the silent oarsmen sleep,
The vigil for their Lord the lights keep,
As they wait for the coming day,
They drive the dark-some night away.
