All you who sleep tonight

Far from the ones you love,

No hand to left or right,

And emptiness above—

Know that you aren’t alone.

The whole world shares your tears,

Some for two nights or one,

And some for all their years.

“Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? To be out of your sight?

If I climb to the sky, you’re there! If I go underground, you’re there!
If I flew on morning’s wings to the far western horizon,
you’d find me in a minute—you’re already there waiting!

Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
At night I’m immersed in the light!”

It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you;

night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.”

(Psalm 139: 7-12)

Come to me,

all you who are weary and burdened,

and I will give you rest.

(Jesus)
