Amid the gloom of ancient night They hailed the dawning Word, And He, the twilight over past, Him-self, the Light of way; To us the word of life impart, Or Christ, the living way; And in the coming of the light Proclaimed the coming Lord. As man with man, revealed at last The Father to obey. Give us the quiet, humble heart To hear and to obey.
