Goodnight, Slumbering Sun

Goodnight, Slumbering Sun

 

The water flows

The quiet way it goes.

Stretched overhead

Is the sky sending the sun to bed.

 

Lowering at a pace

Seasoned in God’s grace.

Calling for a day done,

Today’s victory come.

 

Birds come lap in the cold water,

Existing to glorify the Father.

Flying through the sunset,

Honoring the glory of rest.

 

Colors fill the open sky

With orange and red, a blended sigh.

The water calm

Makes for a soothing balm.

 

Glorious in sight,

Calling forth arresting light.

A breathtaking view

From the heavens true.

 

Down into the deep,

It retires to sleep.

Goodnight, slumbering sun,

For morning’s soon to come.
