In the winter's early darkness by Thurlow Weed — Lyrics
1. In the winter's early darkness,
through the days of failing light,
travelers may delay a journey
or may learn to read the night.
2. Turning on a steady axis,
cold and burning, black and bright,
heaven tells a faithful story
of the coming of the Light.

About In the winter's early darkness
The text paints a scene of early winter darkness, where travelers might pause or learn to understand the night. It draws a parallel between the turning of the heavens and a faithful story of the coming of Light. As we discern celestial patterns and turn our way, the text suggests that even in the darkest times, we are ultimately faced towards the dawn. This SATB arrangement sets the English words with a focus on finding hope and guidance through challenging circumstances, relating the cycles of nature to spiritual insight and the promise of renewal.
