By sin­ners slain.
’Tis a calm, still night,
Guiding the hours as they roll by,
Faint and bleed­ing, who is He?
Speak lov­ing words, for soon thou’lt be
A mys­te­ry deep­er still folds the won­der­ing hosts of light,
To see the light that dim­ly shone,
In Je­sus was ex­pressed.
Deepen me, rid me of the superficial;
When the night grows dark­est,
Now Thy lit­tle lamb’s brief weep­ing;
Of the wrath and curse of God.
That trem­bles at Thy frown:
Lo, He comes! Lo, He comes!
Who is th’eter­nal Word:
Of Is­ra­el’s race.
Of Is­ra­el’s race.
The hour one know­eth not;
Through Heav’n’s wide arch, from pole to pole;
For sor­rows ab­ound, and judg­ment is near!

Pale

In death that droop­ing head de­clines;
Shining soft ov­er hill and vale;
And glow­ing warm in the mid­day sky.
Streaming blood, and writh­ing limb;
And lov­ing words alone will tell
The lord­li­est earth­ward bend­ing, hail the liv­ing light of Beth­le­hem,
Pure im­age of the Eter­nal One!
And did Him wor­ship meet;
All the entangled in me quick unravel;
When the foe­men ga­ther
In its nar­row bed ’tis sleep­ing,
Mystery of love and woe;
Whom Thou hast here for­giv­en:
May I re­joice to see Him near,
What means all we have heard?
His wea­ried head He bends;
His wea­ried head He bends;
And He hath not for­got.
Tremble and fall, ye star­ry host.
And fee­ble and few are the fruits of the vale;
