The Night Before Easter

Nguyên tác: The Night Before Easter

1. The night was so different from all the rest
   And a silence covers the earth;
   The stars have no glimmer, the moon tries to hide,
   For in death lies the man of their birth.

   Chorus:
   Then a stone moves, the earth shakes (and) birds start singing,
   The sun shines, the earth warms (for) new life it’s bringing;
   A little boy stops crying, a mother is smiling,
   For death could not hold their King

   2. In a room filled with sorrow, a mother cries
   For Jesus, her Son now is gone;
   Her child sent from heaven was taken away,
   Heart broken she feels all alone.

   3. At the feet of his mother a little boy cries
   Saying “‘momma’ I don’t understand;”
   I remember the look of love in His eyes,
   That I saw, by the touch of His hand.

   4. The King of all ages, the Giver of life,
   For a moment lies silent and still;
   But a power sent from heaven comes breaking the night,
   And death must bow to His will.
