Sleep, Silent Child

Terry Scott Taylor, Greg Flesch, Tim Chandler

[Verse 1]
Sleep, silent child
Steal away
(You sigh, you sigh, you sigh)
In starry fields, you wander there
Another bright heart in God's embrace

[Chorus 1]
The dazzling, breathing dream
The silent, searching flight
Gave you the strength at last
To live in light
I kiss your lips
Goodnight

[Verse 2]
Sleep, silent child
Peace, be still
(Be still, be still, be still)
Your ears have heard the Holy word
Beyond the dark world's fiery end

[Chorus 2]
The time has come to leave
These distant rims of time
Forgotten days and nights
Of clocks and chimes
I kiss your soul
Divine
Sleep, silent child

[Spoken]
Sleep, silent child
Depart
To the Sovereign of your heart
Draw back blue curtains of the sky
And fly, fly!

[Verse 1]
Sleep, silent child
Steal away
(You sigh, you sigh, you sigh)
In starry fields, you wander there
Another bright heart in God's embrace

[Chorus 1]
The dazzling, breathing dream
The silent, searching flight
Gives you the strength at last
To live in light
I kiss your lips
Goodnight
Sleep, silent child
