EN 794 Slowly, Slowly Darkening
Ps.30.5
Versi Version 1
1
Slowly, slowly darkening
The evening hours roll on;
And soon behind the cloud-land
Will sink my setting sun.
2
Around my path life’s mysteries
Their deepening shadows throw;
And as I gaze and ponder,
They dark and darker grow.
3
But there’s a voice above me
Which says, “Wait, trust and pray;
The night will soon be over,
And light will come with day.”
4
Father! the light and darkness
Are both alike to Thee;
Then to Thy waiting servant,
Alike they both shall be.
5
The great unending future,
I cannot pierce its shroud;
Yet nothing doubt, nor tremble,
God’s bow is on the cloud.
6
To Him I yield my spirit,
On Him I lay my load;
Fear ends with death; beyond it
I nothing see but God.
7
Thus moving towards the darkness
I calmly wait His call,
Now seeing, fearing—nothing;
But hoping, trusting—all!
