11Night’s dim shadows round us lie,In night’s dim shadows lying,
22Limbs now locked in dreamless sleep,Our limbs fast lock’d in sleep,
33While to Thee with souls that sigh,To thee, with faithful sighing,
44Faithful all our vigil keep.Our souls their vigil keep.

66Sweet desire of ev’ry land,Desire of every nation,
77Hear O god our piteous cry,Hear, Lord, our piteous cry;
88By the Word and by thy HandThou Word, the world’s salvation,
99Lift us up from where we live.Uplift us where we lie.

1111Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child,Lord, be thine Advent hasten’d,
1212Though by all the world disowned,Lest sin thy people mar;
1313God among us, undefiled,The gates which Adam fasten’d—
1414Still to be in our hearts enthroned.The gates of heav’n, unbar.
1515
1616To our God this plea we raise,Son, to thine endless merit,
1717savior and Redeemer, Friend,Redeemer, Saviour, Friend,
1818Triune God, accept our praise,With Sire and Holy Spirit
1919Glorying You beyond Time’s end.Be praises without end. Amen.
