O, lonely tomb in Moab's land,
O, dark Bethpeor's hill,
Speak to these curious hearts of ours,
And teach them to be still!
God hath His mysteries of grace -

Ways that we cannot tell;
He hides them deep, like the secret sleep,

Of him He loved so well. (Cecil Frances Alexander)

O, lonely tomb in Moab's land, O, dark Bethpeor's hill, Speak to these curious hearts of ours, And teach them to be still! God hath His mysteries of grace - Ways that we cannot tell; He hides them deep, like the secret sleep, Of him He loved so well.

The witching hour, somebody had once whispered to her, was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves.
