|
<p>What time the evening shadows fall<br>
|
|
Around the Church on earth,<br>
|
|
When darker forms of doubt appall,<br>
|
|
And new false lights have birth;<br>
|
|
Then closer should her faithful band<br>
|
|
For truth together hold,<br>
|
|
Hell’s last devices to withstand,<br>
|
|
And safely guard her fold.</p>
|
|
<p>O Father, in that hour of fear,<br>
|
|
Thy Church on earth do keep,<br>
|
|
Thine altar to the last to rear,<br>
|
|
And feed Thy fainting sheep;<br>
|
|
May she the holy truths attest<br>
|
|
Apostles taught of yore,<br>
|
|
Nor quit the faith by saints confessed,<br>
|
|
Though tempted ne’er so sore.</p>
|
|
<p>O Christ, Who for Thy flock didst pray<br>
|
|
That all might be as one,<br>
|
|
Unite us all ere fades the day,<br>
|
|
Thou sole begotten Son;<br>
|
|
The East, the West, together bind<br>
|
|
In love’s unbroken chain;<br>
|
|
Give each one hope, one heart, one mind,<br>
|
|
One glory, and one gain.</p>
|
|
<p>O Spirit, Lord of light and life,<br>
|
|
The Church with strength renew,<br>
|
|
Compose the angry voice of strife,<br>
|
|
All jealousies subdue;<br>
|
|
Do Thou in ever quickening streams<br>
|
|
Upon Thy saints descend,<br>
|
|
And warm them with reviving beams,<br>
|
|
And guide them to the end.</p>
|
|
<p>Great Three in One, great One in Three,<br>
|
|
Our hymns of prayer receive,<br>
|
|
And teach us all from sin to flee,<br>
|
|
And live as we believe;<br>
|
|
So, pure in faith, our thoughts and speech,<br>
|
|
And acts that faith shall own;<br>
|
|
So shall we to Thy presence reach,<br>
|
|
And know as we are known.</p>
