As Darker, Darker Fall Around
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals First Line: As darker, darker, fall around Lyrics: 1. As darker, darker, fall around
The shadows of the night,
We gather here with hymn and prayer,
To seek the eternal light.
2. Father in Heaven, to Thee are known
Our many hopes and fears,
Our heavy weight of mortal toil,
Our bitterness of tears.
3. We pray Thee for our absent ones,
Who have been with us here:
And in our secret heart we name
The distant and the dear.
4. For weary eyes, and aching hearts,
And feet that from Thee rove,
The sick, the poor, the tired, the fallen,
We pray Thee, God of love.
5. We bring to Thee our hopes and fears
And at Thy footstool lay;
And, Father, Thou who lovest all
Wilt hear us as we pray. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM Text Sources: Catholic Choralist, by William Young, 1842, number 60, in 13 4-line stanzas, as "Hymn of the Calabrian Shepherds"

Author of "As Darker, Darker Fall Around" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Hugh Wilson
1766 - 1824 Composer of "MARTYRDOM" in The Cyber Hymnal Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.
