Lenten Hymn: In a Time Without Alleluias


In a Time Without Alleluias by A Williams © 2013
Tune: Wingate

In a time without Alleluias
When the world seems without delight
Souls are filled with solemn silence
For in darkness joy takes flight

In a time without Alleluias
Seeming so far away from peace
Creation seems still and stifled
Struggles on without release

In a time without Alleluias
Love seems broken and nearly gone
All our powers simply failing
to help us continue on

In a time without Alleluias
Hope for hopelessness is found
Naught on earth can keep love silent
Or God's mercy underground

The time returns for Alleluias
When we face all the dark inside
For we cannot do God's justice
Til to self we've truly died

We'll sing full the Alleluias
When at last we can clearly see
The world just as God intended
Love adorned in majesty.
