let nothing frighten you,
all things are passing.
God never changes.

black is the sky
and soft creep the demons.
life of this world
swept up in unfeeling.

under the moon,
its hue ever paling,
winds carry screaming,
the scared still are wailing.

world lies abysmal,
deafening the voices,
man in his grasp,
the devil rejoices.

then in the distance,
Word from the darkness
destroys the evil and
scatters the starkness.

right here from nothing,
Eden unfolding,
old world now passes,
sin’s lost its holding.

archangels sing,
the souls now releasing,
glory eternal
and praises unceasing.

let nothing frighten you,
all things are passing.
God never changes.
