Come, Risen Lord
Dark is the night, and friends lie sleeping still
Author: Paul Wigmore (b. 1925) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Dark is the night, and friends lie sleeping still,
and cold, Gethsemane, with dread and tears;
lanterns and swords no radiance, no defence,
bring to our Lord as pallid dawn appears.
2 Dark is the day, the temple veil is torn,
and friends are hiding from his death and loss;
a thief his love unfailing comes to know,
the first-fruits of salvation by the cross.
3 Dark is the tomb, and friends stoop low to find
if death has won indeed, or risen he;
and we through doubting and despair with them
prepare in faith his wondrous face to see. Topics: Church Year Good Friday; Church year Holy Saturday; Holy Saturday Scripture: Mark 14:50 Used With Tune: BOROUGH
Dark is the night, and friends lie sleeping still
