Text: | The Twilight Shadows Round Me Fall |
Author: | Ernest Edwin Ryden |
Tune: | CECILE |
Composer: | Peter Johnson |
1 The twilight shadows round me fall,
And night comes creeping on;
But Thou, dear Lord, art ever near,
My Day when day is gone.
Thy wings in love o'ershadow me,
The night with Thee is light;
I rest in Thee, Thou changeless One,
And wait the dawning bright.
2 My life is but a fleeting day,
My race, how quickly run!
The dawn and noon-day glory fade
Into the setting sun.
A stranger and a pilgrim here,
With falt'ring feet I roam;
Lord, let Thy glory light the way
That leads me to my home.
3 By faith I see the better land,
Where falls no earthly night,
Where Thou dost shine, a radiant Sun,
The Everlasting Light.
Then help me, Lord, to walk with Thee,
And keep me Thine alway,
That from my sleep I may awake
Unto the perfect day.
Amen.
