Daylight is fad­ing, twi­light is shad­ing
Roll the tide of grace along,
For Thou art nigh.
Through sor­row’s night and dan­ger’s path,
Dim be the re­gion afar,
And breadth of clo­ver fields,
Faith can the light des­cry:
Dim be the re­gion afar,
Behold the west­ern ev­en­ing light!
God, in glo­ry bright!
Around my path life’s mys­ter­ies
Glide ye hours and mo­ments light­ly,
Over a world un­rea­dy then,
Where His friends had laid Him
His peo­ple’s sac­ri­fice.
Sitting, sad­ly think­ing, dream­ing,
At ev­en, or mid­night, or morn;
Face to face with sin and sor­row,
O will you not come to Him now?

deep­en­ing

Heavenly Fa­ther, now as we ga­ther,
end
Heart of love en­fold­ing all,
We sol­diers of an in­jured king
Brighten the glim­mer­ing star?
And glow of sum­mer air,
Proclaims de­li­ver­ance nigh!
Brighten the glim­mer­ing star?
So calm­ly Christ­ians sink away,
See a long train of mar­tyrs rise to view;
And as I gaze and pon­der,
Bring the hour that ban­ished sad­ness,
Ushering in at the trum­pet’s call,
Roman guards were sta­tioned,
Were heard be­fore an­gel­ic thrones;
While the fire throws dus­ky sha­dows,
It may be at ear­li­est dawn.
In the Sav­ior’s steps to fol­low—
Jesus is call­ing you now;
With faith that was weak and dim;
