All Shall Be Well

We touched down on the sound At the top of the world In the land of the midnight sun Where the frozen river melts away And breaks into a run Into the sea, into the mighty waves That waited just to see it From a long way off that river thawed And the tide ran out to meet it “Welcome home, unfrozen river, welcome home” ‘Cause all shall be well, all shall be well Break the chains of the gates of Hell Still all manner of things will be well See the quiet hearts of the children of The children of this land They have stayed alive in the day-long night By the fires that warm their hands There is a wilderness inside them It is dark and thick and deep And beside the fire at the heart of that wood Is a precious missing sheep So go on in, hold your torch, let it shine ‘Cause all shall be well, all shall be well Break the chains of the gates of Hell Still all manner of things will be well All shall be well, all shall be well The Word of God will never fail And all manner of things will be well There's a light in the darkness There's an end to the night I saw the sun go down on a frozen ocean As the man in the moon was rising And he rode the night all full and bright With his face at the far horizon And the night can be so long, so long You think you'll never get up again But listen now, it's a mighty cloud of Witnesses around you—they say “Hold on, just hold on Hold on to the end And all shall be well” --- All Shall Be Well - Andrew Peterson
