Slowly, Slowly Darkening (EN 794)

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!
