The Chapel by the Sea The purple clouds, the sun declining
The chapel looks out across the bay
As the sun sets, the stars are shining
At the ending of this autumn day
Inside, the shadows grow, light is fading
Gabriel tells Mary drawn upon the walls
Flickering in candle light, delicate shading
The darkness softly treads as night falls
Moonlight in the water, turn of the tide
The chapel looks out on a silent night
Once chants within, when monks abide
Now just is calm and peace of candle light
A silhouette of grace in a troubled night
In darkling times, there dwells the light
