Christ My Song - 2065
The night is dark and sad - Watch Song
(John S. B. Monsell/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Watch Song.
"Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?" (Judges 5,28)
1. The night is dark and sad,
the day is coming long,
when all hearts shall be glad,
all voices burst in song?
O, when shall we
thy glory see,
and, Saviour! ever rest in thee? PDF - Midi
2. Slowly the morning steals
upon our weary road,
why stay the chariot wheels
of our expected God?
O, when shall we
thy glory see,
and, Saviour! ever rest in thee?
3. Blessed be these waiting days
whose fires within us burn,
revive our hearts, and raise
their hopes of thy return;
O, when shall we
thy glory see,
and, Saviour! ever rest in thee?
4. Revive thy work, O Lord!
come down in show'rs of grace,
then, when thou art restored,
we'll see thee face to face;
O, then shall we
thy glory see,
and, Saviour! ever rest in thee.
