Cecile C. M. D.

The twilight shadows 'round me fall,
And night comes creeping on;
But Thou, dear Lord, art ever near,
My Day when day is gone.
Thy wings in love o'er-shadow be,
The night with Thee is light;
I rest in Thee, Thou changeless One,
And wait the dawning bright.

My life is but a fleeting day,
My race, how quickly run!
The dawn and noonday glory fade
Into the setting sun.
A stranger and a pilgrim here,
With falt'ring feet I roam;
Lord, let Thy glory light the way
That leads me to my home.

By faith I see the better Land,
Where falls no earthly night,
Where Thou dost shine, a radiant Sun,
The Everlasting Light.
Then help me, Lord, to walk with Thee,
And keep me Thine alway,
That from my sleep I may awake
Unto the perfect Day.
