[Advent shadows gather deep]
‘Look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.’—
Luke xxi. 28.
Luke xxi. 28.
Advent shadows gather deep,
Wars and desolations,
Troubled wakings, troubled sleep,
Rushing of the nations.
Advent glory, grand and clear,
Herald flashes flingeth;
And the Judge who draweth near,
Full salvation bringeth.
