EN 4053 The Day Is Gently Sinking to a Close

Luke.24.29

Versi Version 1

1

The day is gently sinking to a close,

Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows:

O Brightness of Thy Father’s glory,

Thou eternal Light of light, be with us now:

Where Thou art present darkness cannot be;

Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee.

2

Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end;

Onward to darkness and to death we tend;

O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our Guide;

Be Thou our Light in death’s dark eventide;

Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom,

No sting in death, no terror in the tomb.

3

Thou, who in darkness walking didst appear

Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer,

Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail,

And earthly hopes and human succors fail;

When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh,

And hear Thy voice, “Fear not, for it is I.”

4

The weary world is moldering to decay,

Its glories wane, its pageants fade away:

In that last sunset, when the stars shall fall,

May we arise, awakened by Thy call,

With Thee, O Lord, forever to abide,

In that blest day which has no eventide.
