Restless Night
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Restless night, urgent night
Joseph wakes, filled with fright
For an angel speaks in a dream
"Rush to Egypt with your family.
Herod is hunting your Child.
Herod is hunting your Child."
Verse 2
Desperate night, frantic night
While still dark, take to flight
Down to Egypt, run and hide
Until Herod finally dies
Christ, the refugee flees
Christ, the refugee flees
Verse 3
Horrible day, murderous day
Herod sends troops to slay
Newborn babies, toddling boys
Hear the weeping of deep, stolen joy
Who could comfort such pain?
Who could comfort such pain?
Verse 4
Current day, urgent day
Christ, who will return to reign
Calls His Church to share in the needs
Of His fellow refugees
Will we heed the call?
Will we heed the call?
