Full Lyrics
Slowly darkening
The ev'ning hours roll on,
And soon behind the cloudland
Will sink my setting Sun.
Around my path life's mysteries
Their deep'ning shadows throw,
And as I gaze and ponder,
They dark and darker grow.
But there's a voice above me
Which say, "Wait, trust and pray,
The night will soon be over,
And light will come with day."
Father! the light and darkness
Are both alike to thee;
Then to the waiting servant
Alike they both shall be.
The great unending future,
I cannot pierce its shroud;
Yet, nothing doubt, nor trouble,
God's bow is on the cloud.
To him I yield my spirit;
On him I lay my load;
Fear ends with death;
beyond it I nothing see but God
Thus moving towards darkness
I calmly wait his call,
Now seeing, fearing nothing,
But hoping, trusting all.
