When the Light is Gone

[Verse 1]
The tender mercy of our God
Still holds us when the light is gone
His guiding hand and guarding rod
Are with us as we wait for dawn

[Chorus]
Oh, though sorrow entered with the night
Oh, yet even now we know His light

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Ooh

[Verse 2]
His love is steady as the stars
Whose ancient light is burning still
He walks beside us in the dark
The emptiness within us fills

[Chorus]
Oh, though night is long He's with us now
Oh, in mercy's everlasting hour

[Post-Chorus]
Oh

[Verse 3]
As every night will have its end
We know the sun will have to rise
Our loving Lord will take our hand
And wipе the tears from evеry eye

[Chorus]
Oh, for Christ has come, the day draws near
Oh, and even now He meets us here
Oh, even now He meets us here
Yes, even now He meets us here
