Song of John (Fr. Arnel Aquino, SJ)

[Edz0714]

I first heard this song when I was in my 3rd year college...how I imagined Jesus with his peaceful gaze that calms the night and soothes the weariness of the street children sleeping along Quiapo sidewalks...the lyrics linger on in my mind esp. when it goes: "Jesus come s to me, calms me tenderly, whispering all my weariness away"... I am grateful to Jesuit Music Ministry, because their music is not only inspiring but also leads us to the Good News. =)

its my first time to hear this song... its wonderful it made me cried

[saintepetitefleur]

Softly as the night kindles candlelight

Gently as the twilight heralds eventide

Jesus comes to me, calms me tenderly

Whisp'ring all my weariness away.

[saintepetitefleur]

Softly as the night kindles candlelight

Gently as the twilight heralds eventide

Jesus comes to me, never fearful shall I be.

[saintepetitefleur]

Once upon a Thursday night

A supper did renew my life]

Once upon a garden pray'r cried

My solitude is nigh now!

[saintepetitefleur]

Whose but Savior's night

Who but God's delight

Who but He whose night His friends had left behind

Can fill my emptiness and promise me a sunrise

Jesus, Lord of life, candle of the night

Sweet solitary light
