The Sun Went Down at Noon

The darkened sky, the veil there rent,
And no light of sun or moon;
When all our sin on Christ was sent,
And the sun went down at noon.

O! wondrous Love, when Jesus died;
When there His Dear Heart did swoon;
For there, God’s Glory did unhide,
Though earth’s sun went down at noon.

There to fulfill the prophet’s words
That God’s children may commune;
With Him who now our soul upgirds,
When the sun went down at noon.

When on the cross the Savior hung
With God, our hearts to attune;
For now our hearts, new songs have sung,
For the sun went down at noon.

In that great day the Savior died,
And to us He gave the boon;
We found in Him, God had not lied,
When the sun went down at noon.

Solomon’s sun of vanity
With the light of the Law’s moon;
Restored to us, our sanity
When old Sol went down at noon.

No more to suffer in its heat
The rest of the afternoon;
Or to a shade seek our retreat
For the sun went down at noon.

All that is under earth’s old sun
Will here pass away so soon;
For through the work that Christ has done,
The sun has gone down at noon.

He arose to bring a New Day
With no need of sun or moon;
For their faint light faded away,
As the sun went down at noon.

A sun of righteousness yet shines,
Though earth’s sun went down at noon;
Released from its intense confines,
When the sun went down at noon.

We need no light of sun or moon;
They have faded from our view;
They melted down in the high noon,
When Christ made our heavens New.

The sun’s great strength, the moon’s pale light
Left for us no place or room;
Till Christ revealed to pleasure’s sight
That He was our sun at noon.

There is a city now indwelt
With great mansions of great room;
Where heat of sins' no longer felt,
For that sun went down at noon..
