Let Evening Twilight Turn to Dawn

Author: T. Vincent Tymms Hymnal: The Praise Book #133 (1906) Lyrics: 1 Let evening twilight turn to dawn, For all who love Thee, Saviour dear, Like twain of old, to whom, we read,— “Jesus Himself drew near.” 2 Yet we remember how ‘tis write, That while He sought their doubt to clear, Their eyes were held, and told them not, Jesus Himself drew near. 3 With burning hearts they heard His words, Unfolding how each ancient see Said, “Christ must suffer.” So in Light, Jesus Himself drew near. 4 Drew near, was near, yet still seemed far, While sitting down their meal to cheer! Then closer still, in vanished Form, Jesus Himself drew near. 5 Not now a figure by their side, But in their hearts, Indweller dear! His present Spirit bade them say, Jesus Himself is here. 6 So dwell in us by faith, dear Lord! In us by grace Thy throne uprear, Then of our darkest hours we’ll say, Jesus Himself drew near. 7 Be near us, Lord, till sense no more Divides from Him our souls revere: Be with us, Lord, till thro’ the tomb, To Jesus we draw near.

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "[Let evening twilight turn to dawn]" in The Praise Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
