    Holy darkness, blessed night, heaven's answer hidden from our sight. As we await you, O god of silence, we embrace your holy night.
    I haver tried you in fires of affliction; I have taught your soul to grieve. in the barren soil of your loneliness, there I will plant my seed
    I have taught you the price of compassion; you have stood before the grace. Though my love can seem like raging storm, this is the love that saves.
    Were you there when I raised up the mountains? Can you guide the morning star? Does the hawk take flight when you give command? Why do you doubt my pow'r?

    This song really resonates with me. Songs about glory and praise are all well and good, but if there's one thing that I get from God it is silence. And I'd like it to stay that way, we should find the path without Him having to hold our hands through it. Just some thoughts. Thanks for this version, the other ones available on youtube don't have the same personal touch that a guitar does.

    Refrain
    Holy darkness, blessed night,
    heaven's answer hidden from our sight.
    As we await you, O God of silence,
    we embrace your holy night.
    1. I have tried you in fires of affliction;
    I have taught your soul to grieve.
    In the barren soil of your loneliness,
    there I will plant my seed.
    2. I have taught you the price of compassion;
    you have stood before the grave.
    Though my love can seem
    like a raging storm,
    this is the love that saves.
    3. Were you there
    when I raised up the mountains?
    Can you guide the morning star?
    Does the hawk take flight
    when you give command?
    Why do you doubt my pow'r?
    4. In your deepest hour of darkness
    I will give you wealth untold.
    When the silence stills your spirit,
    will my riches fill your soul.
    5. As the watchman waits for morning,
    and the bride awaits her groom,
    so we wait to hear your footsteps
    as we rest beneath your moon.

    I miss singing this beautiful song my choir group used to sing before Holy Week and before Christmas at our church, but, our Saturday vigil Mass was eliminated and guitar playing is banned. Sad.

    Very peaceful. Well done, Chris. Dan Schutte is coming to one of our churches in Pittston, Pennsylvania at the end of February. I am looking forward to seeing him.

    I could feel the emotion you put into this song. Great job Chris. Thank you!

    • @ChrisBrunelle
      @ChrisBrunelle  Před 4 lety +2

      Arnold Yosten thank you, I really tried with this one to put some feeling into it. I know I’m making “instructional” videos but I tend to not put very much emotion in when I sing. Something to work on

    • @kathyyosten1497
      @kathyyosten1497 Před 4 lety

      Arnold is my husband, my name is Kathy. I know Patti Drewes, sometimes Patti and I sing together.

    might i use this lovely recording in an online service of the United Reformed Church in the UK? We have the requisite licences and will, of course, credit you in the script. Many thanks, Andy Braunston

      You have MY permission, it’s up to you to make sure the other permissions are in place and it sounds like you’ve done that. I’m honored.

    Chris this is a beautiful arrangement! We sing this during the Anointing of The Sick Masses(Second Weekend In February or closest to February 11th) also on The Feast Of All Souls Day Memorial Mass , Funerals and when the readings or theme of a Weekend Mass fits the song well! I Cantor the Second Saturday of each month with the Organ and Piano(Some Weekends More Organ , Some Weekends More Piano and Some Weekends half and half! It just depends on the song(‘s) I Cantor next weekend so I will be singing this song during The Sacrament Of The Anointing Of The Sick with the Piano! Can I ask you what the ENTRANCE and CLOSING songs are at your church for the Month Of February and what your “Mass Lineup is for This AND Next Weekend?? Trying to get new song ideas to suggest to our choir director! Our Lineup this weekend is : ENTRANCE: In His Temple Now Behold Him (ORGAN), OFFERTORY: I Want To Walk As A Child Of The Light (ORGAN), COMMUNION: Beyond The Moon And Stars (PIANO), and CLOSING: Christ Be Our Light (ORGAN).

God Bless You In Your Ministry and Talents you share and give for others who enjoy your music use your music as a resource for them to practice with!

      Joe Brungardt I can give you the selections for my church. This weekend is: Gathering: All Are Welcome, Offertory: Christ Be Our Light, Communion: Taste and See, Concluding: Glory and Praise to Our God.
      Feb. 8/9: Holy, Holy, Holy, The Summons, Blest Are They, We Are Called.
      Feb. 15/16: Gather Us In, Rain Down, One Bread, One Body, A Mighty Fortress
      Feb. 22/23: Alleluia Sing to Jesus, Blest Are They, I Am the Bread of Life, Go Make a Difference.
      Feb. 28, March 1: No Gathering Hymn during Lent. (The priest, Eucharistic Ministers, and altar servers enter in silence). Offertory, Deep Within, Communion, Taste and See, Concluding, Jerusalem My Destiny.
      The Psalm and Gospel Acc are from R and A. We use the Mass of Christ the Savior up until Ash Wednesday. Then we are switching to the Mass of Joy and Peace.
