In the depths of night, my soul finds no rest,
With burdens unending, my heart feels oppressed.
The shadows linger, doubts echo loud,
Troubled thoughts gather like a heavy cloud.

Yet in this darkness, a whisper remains,
A quiet assurance that still hope sustains.
The pain I carry, though deep and wide,
Cannot eclipse the light You provide.

Yet amidst my despair, this truth I hold dear,
Your steadfast love remains ever near.
In the darkest moment, Noel shines bright,
A promise renewed as the Savior brings light.

You are my refuge, my strength every day,
With You, the darkness cannot stay.
Your light pierces through the longest night,
Transforming sorrow with Your holy light.

I lift my hands in praise to the King,
For even in trials, Your mercies I sing.
Above my circumstances, Your glory shines bright,
Noel has dawned, turning darkness to light.

O Lord, my heart rejoices anew,
In all things, Lord, I trust in You.
For in Your presence, peace is found,
My soul shall rise on this holy ground.
