HYMN 98. (S. M.) The same.
[How heavy is the night]
I
How heavy is the nightThat hangs upon our eyes,
Till Christ with his reviving light
Over our souls arise!
II
Our guilty spirits dreadTo meet the wrath of heaven,
But, in his righteousness array'd,
We see our sins forgiven.
III
Unholy and impureAre all our thoughts and ways;
His hands infected nature cure
With sanctifying grace.
IV
The powers of hell agreeTo hold our souls in vain;
He sets the sons of bondage free,
And breaks the cursed chain.
V
Lord, we adore thy waysTo bring us near to God,
Thy sovereign power, thy healing grace,
And thine atoning blood.
