Daylight fades awayA
Is the Lord at handB
In the shadows grayA
Stealing on the landB
-
Gently from the eastC
Come the shadows grayA
But our lowly priestC
Nearer is than theyA
-
It is darkness quiteD
Is the Lord at handB
In the cloak of nightD
Stolen upon the landB
-
But I see no nightD
For my Lord is hereE
With him dark is lightD
With him far is nearF
-
List the cock's awakeG
Is the Lord at handB
Cometh he to makeG
Light in all the landB
-
Long ago he madeH
Morning in my heartI
Long ago he badeH
Shadowy things departI
-
Lo the dawning hillJ
Is the Lord at handB
Come to scatter illJ
Ruling in the landB
-
He hath scattered illJ
Ruling in my mindK
Growing to his willJ
Freedom comes I findK
-
We will watch all dayA
Lest the Lord should comeL
All night waking stayA
In the darkness dumbL
-
I will work all dayA
For the Lord hath comeL
Down my head will layA
All night glad and dumbL
-
For we know not whenM
Christ may be at handB
But we know that thenM
Joy is in the landB
-
For I know that whereN
Christ hath come againM
Quietness without careN
Dwelleth in his menM
