In Night's Dim Shadows Lying Lyrics

1. In night's dim shadows lying,
Our limbs fast lock'd in sleep,
To thee, with faithful sighing,
Our souls their vigil keep.

2. Desire of every nation,
Hear, Lord, our piteous cry;
Thou Word, the world's salvation,
Uplift us where we lie.

3. Lord, be thine Advent hasten'd,
Lest sin thy people mar;
The gates which Adam fasten'd-
The gates of heav'n, unbar.

4. Son, to thine endless merit,
Redeemer, Saviour, Friend,
With Sire and Holy Spirit
Be praises without end. Amen.
