Gloom around Thee and within,
Till the appointed time is nigh,
Till the Lamb of God may die.Thou, the Father's only Son,
Thou, His own Anointed One,
Thou dost ask Him, Can it be?"JUDGE ETERNAL, THRONED IN SPLENDOR","He shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor."Solace all its wide dominion
With the healing of Thy wings.Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Darkly o'er my sinful soul,
Thou, who once wast thus bereft
That Thine own might ne'er be left,
Teach me by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know Thee nigh.Throned upon the awful tree,
King of grief, I watch with thee.Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Darkly o'er my sinful soul,
Thou, who once wast thus bereft
That thine own might never be left,
Teach me by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know thee nigh. |
