Night of Dreams

Words adapted and music composed by living composer Valerie Showers Crescenz. Sung by Freudig Singers for The American Chrismas Pie Concerts 2011

That night when in the Judean skies
the mystic star dispensed its light,
a blind man moved in his sleep
and dreamed that he had sight.

That night when shepherds heard the song
of choirs of angels singing near,
a deaf man stirred in slumber’s spell
and dreamed that he could hear!

That night, a man in sickness lay,
and suff’ring more than words could tell
found refuge from his pain in sleep,
and dreamed that he was well.

That night, a man who was all alone
and friendless in this world of men
reached out and smiled in his sleep
and dreamed he had a friend.

That night while to His mother’s heart
the little King was held secure,
a sinner slept a happy sleep
and dreamed that he was pure!

That night when in the manger lay
the Son of God who came to save,
a man moved in the sleep of death
and dreamed there was no grave.
