<p>When shades of night around us close,<br>
|
|
And weary limbs in sleep repose,<br>
|
|
The faithful soul awake may be,<br>
|
|
And longing sigh, O Lord, to Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou true Desire of nations, hear,<br>
|
|
Thou Word of God, Thou Savior dear;<br>
|
|
In pity heed our humble cries,<br>
|
|
And bid at length the fallen rise.</p>
|
|
<p>O come, Redeemer, come and free<br>
|
|
Thine own from guilt and misery;<br>
|
|
The gates of heav’n again unfold,<br>
|
|
Which Adam’s sin had closed of old.</p>
|
|
<p>All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,<br>
|
|
Whose advent sets Thy people free,<br>
|
|
Whom with the Father we adore<br>
|
|
And Holy Ghost forevermore.</p>
