Thurlow Weed - A silence which was broken - текст песни (слова)

1. A silence which was broken,
 by John's astounding word
 returned again to muffle
 all passion where it stirred.
 
 2. A people lately singing 
 now strained their hearts to hear
 the sweet receding music,
 "the realm of God is near."
 
 3. But hope, hushed and imprisoned,
 will not be silent long --
 another seized the promise
 and sang it, sure and strong.
 
 4. And many joined the singing.
 and many came to hear, 
 and many soon discovered
 the realm of God is near.
