Never was that midnight touched by dread and gloom: darkness was the cradle of the dawning. 5 Joyful is the dark depth of love divine, roaring, looming thundercloud of glory, holy, haunting beauty, living, loving God. Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2 Used With Tune: JOYFUL DARK Text Sources: Bring Many Names
