Text:Gone are the shades of night

14. Gone are the shades of night

Gone are the shades of night,
The hours of rest are o'er;
New beauties sparkle bright,
And heaven is light once more.

To Thee our prayers shall speed,
O Lord of light Divine;
Come to our utmost need,
And in our darkness shine.

Spirit of love and light,
May we Thine image know,
And in Thy glory bright,
To full perfection grow.

15
Hear us, O Father blest,
Save us, O Christ the Son;
Thou Comforter the best,
Lead us till life is done.
